RUKIE HARTMAN & APARAJEETA “SASHA” DUTTCHOUDHURY Rukie likes envisioning, and thinking practically about implementing those visions. She has written a lot for someone who claims not to be a writer. She enjoys watching Bollywood movies, sewing, taking naps, smiling, and laughing. Aparajeeta, also known as Sasha, is a writer (and reader) interested in storytelling through the languages of personal narrative, fiction, poetry, comics, graphic novels, and those oral moments over a cup of chai. She sees storytelling as a way of exploring the worlds in us and around us.
