Aashna Shah, DYNAMIC DIYA: Dyslexia is her Superpower

Zibby interviews Aashna Shah, a high school student and the first Indian American Miss Florida's Outstanding Teen, about Dynamic Diya - Dyslexia is her Superpower, one of the three children's books she has written about learning disabilities (all of which she has been diagnosed with!). Aashna talks about her experiences in the pageant and describes how she is using her voice to break the stigma of learning disabilities and fight for legislative change in Florida. She also shares how she navigated the tricky self-publishing process and found a wonderful illustrator from India, ultimately turning her own struggles into beautiful picture books.
