## Resource

Danielle sits down with acclaimed poet Vandana Khanna to trace a journey that began with a move from India at age two and a calling to her craft at just eight years old. Their conversation follows the winding trajectory of a life dedicated to the creative arts, from the milestones of finding her academic voice to the ways 9/11 reshaped her perspective to exploring the Hindu goddesses that inhabit her latest collection. Vandana remains a fierce champion of the woman’s voice. It is a resonant look at identity, grace, and the extraordinary power found in the quiet complexities of a life lived fully.
