Bijal Vaccharajani
Writer
For the past five years, I have been dealing with personal loss. My new book will blend memoir with an exploration of climate-induced losses, aiming to provide comfort and emphasize the need for climate action. I intend to immerse myself in nature to reflect on and articulate my experience of grief and loss.
