After a childhood raised on Bollywood, Monty Python, and Jane Austen, Farah Heron wove complicated story arcs and uplifting happily ever afters in her daydreams while pursuing careers in human resources and psychology. She writes romantic comedies and women’s fiction full of huge South Asian families, delectable food, and most importantly, brown people falling stupidly in love. She lives in Toronto with her husband, two children, two cats, and a rabbit named Strawberry.
Soneela Nankani is a creative professional and nonprofit leader working at the intersection of the arts, civic engagement, and racial equity. As a woman of East Indian and West African heritage growing up in the US, Soneela was attuned to the pervasiveness of racial injustice and necessity of a shared sense of community early in life.
Through a deep appreciation for and a career in the arts, Soneela began to thread her lived experience through her artistic work. Later, as an arts administrator doing cross-sector work in the nonprofit field, she immersed herself in anti-racism work, seeking to promote a commitment to racial equity across all of her organization’s work. As a consultant, Soneela now focuses her work on  stimulating and supporting a culture of equity and inclusion in the arts and nonprofit fields. Her values are further promoted through her audiobook narration work, which includes over 200 titles, with a focus and attention to South Asian and Black experiences.
