#BrownGirlMag for an intimate Sunday brunch celebrating the launch of Fitting Indian, the powerful and poignant debut book by comedian, creator, and now author Jyoti Chand (mamajotes), on Sunday, May 18th at 12:30PM.⏰
This debut teen graphic novel — illustrated by Tara Anand — follows one girl’s journey navigating high school and her mental health within a traditional South Asian family.
All Nitasha’s parents want is for her to be the perfect Indian daughter—something she is decidedly not. Everything she does seems to disappoint them, especially her mom. They just don’t get that she’ll never be like her doctor older brother. To make matters worse, she’s never quite felt like she belongs at school either, and lately, her best friend, Ava, and her crush, Henry, seem to be more interested in the rich new girl than in her.
