How do our layered heritages shape the stories we tell? In this deep and personal episode, Kirti sits down with Angela , author of the profound novel-memoir Meditations of a Former Statue, to talk about navigating identity, cultural legacy, trauma, and self-awakening. Angela opens up about her fascinating life as a woman with Indian and Italian roots, growing up in the UK, and her transition from a banking career on the trading floor to finding her voice as a writer, and how heartbreak and self-reflection spurred her towards deeper healing and creative expression.Get her book: https://books2read.com/u/4Xlkq6https://amzn.eu/d/359WIqmDoes our stories inspire you and want to step behind the scene: join our subtack newsletter: https://kirtana168.substack.com
