Seemi Choudry
Seemi Choudry is a Pakistani-Venezuelan American Muslim. The story of immigrants has been a through line in her professional career and within her written work. For over a decade, she has joined fearless leaders across the country to ease the burden of migratory resettlement. As an immigrant and first-generation South Asian Latina woman, she understands the challenges when taking up space in places that were not designed for people of color. What matters to her most is sharing the authentic stories of minority voices. She believes literature is meant to liberate and hopes to do that through her published work.
