Puja Shah is a visionary poet who shares her voice through written and spoken word, guided meditations, and teaching. Born in Queens, New York to immigrant parents, she defied teachers who questioned her English skills by winning countless poetry and short story awards in her youth. As an avid reader, she spent her teen years exploring New York City for poetry slams and book readings. The blend of East and West has always fascinated her, so she holds a graduate degree in dental medicine from Tufts University as well as over a dozen trainings in various forms of yoga, meditation, and ancient wisdom. Her award-winning book "For My Sister" is a journey of light and darkness with Amla and Asya: twin sisters trafficked into India's notorious Sonagachi district, Asia's largest red-light district. Can the power of poetry, photography, mindfulness, and sisterly love bring them back home and to each other? It has won the American Book Award for Social Change and International Impact Book Award for Women's Fiction.
