Her writing appeared in The Washington Post\, Volume 1 Brooklyn\, The Metropolitan Review\, and elsewhere.\nSamira Asma-Sadeque: Samira Asma-Sadeque is a New York-based Bangladeshi journalist\, poet\, and educator.

In her emotionally charged young adult novels\, she focuses on self-discovery\, personal agency\, and the restorative power of relationships. Her narratives blend cultural uniqueness with universal appeal as they follow South Asian American teenagers and navigate family dynamics\, mental health\, and artistic endeavors.\nTanaïs: Tanaïs (formerly Tanwi Nandini Islam)\, a Bangladeshi American writer and perfumer\, uses personal memoir and historical critique to explore identity\, beauty\, and South Asian history\, particularly Bangladesh\, women\, and queer communities.\n\nThe event is open to registered participants.
