Conversation with Sarah Kushairi

Sarah Kushairi is a clinical pharmacist and lecturer from Malaysia who never quite shook off her childhood dream of becoming a writer. Armed with a Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and an MSc in Clinical Pharmacy from University College London (UCL), she splits her time between the world of pharmaceuticals and storytelling. At twelve, Sarah ambitiously started her first Harry Potter-inspired novel. Two chapters in, she decided to “come back to it later”—she never did. But her love for writing found other outlets. Her health and beauty articles have appeared in Malaysian newspapers, and she’s shared her expertise on TV and radio. Her personal piece “Tudung Mana?” was featured in the anthology Hijab: Everyday Stories of Muslim Women from Singapore and Beyond (Helang Books, 2023). When Master’s coursework at UCL became overwhelming, Sarah turned stress into creativity, self-publishing her first travelogue Snippets of Travels: Musings and...

Conversation with Priya Hajela

Priya Hajela’s writing is deeply influenced by her rich tapestry of experiences — a testament to the resilience she has cultivated as a mother, an immigrant navigating cultural transitions, and a professional thriving in the high-stakes worlds of telecom and IT.
