Saumya and I discuss What a Happy Family, wanting to focus on mental health and the ways we do and do not talk about it, how memories are filtered through our own experiences, the origins of the title, balancing two careers and a young child, and much more.
Saumya’s recommended reads are:
What We Carry by Maya Lang
The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris
