Here's a link to the NPR interview with editor-in-chief Mary Anne Mohanraj (me!), local artist Manish Shah and poetry contributor Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha on the Jaggery Lit launch. (Jaggery portion starts at 6:51)
Stumbled across this randomly while driving to the airport on Friday. As soon as the announcer explained the general topic during the “coming up this hour” segment, I immediately thought “ooh, it must be Jaggery!” Very surreal when random people from the internet suddenly appear in one’s offline life.
In any event, I enjoyed the interview – you (and the other guests) seemed to strike a nice balance between professionalism and enthusiasm. I particularly liked the explanations of how it feels to balance two worlds, a challenge that is obviously not unique to the desi community. Hopefully the broader publicity will help bring in readers that might otherwise not have thought to join in. Good luck with the launch!
