In Roshani’s own words:

• “On Wanting All the Things” (2015) on Read. Sleep. Repeat. : “When you deny someone the right to claim multiple voices, you devalue the power of their words in different settings. What ends up happening is that one pool of our imagination — our families, our loved ones, our lullabies in strange tongues, our food and our jokes — becomes a shackle.”

• “A Crown of Wishes: Roshani Chokshi on the Inspiration to Finish a Novel” (2017) on The Book Smugglers: “I’m writing for myself. I’m writing to honor my voice. I’m writing to honor this story.”

• “‘A Crown of Wishes’ Author Roshani Chokshi is writing for Second-Generation Kids Like Her” (2017) on Bustle: “I am not writing for the native Filipino or native Indian because I’m writing for an audience like me — second-culture kids whose exposure was different, but whose claim to those tales is the same.”

• “The Secret Meaning Behind Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s Indian Wedding Ritual” (2018) in InStyle: “As a writer and the daughter of immigrants, I spend a lot of time thinking about ceremony and tradition, how things have changed—and not changed—in the crossing of oceans.”

• “As an Indian Bride-to-Be, Seeing Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas Break Tradition Took My Wedding Stress Away” (2018) in The Oprah Magazine: “Since childhood, I’ve been haunted by a voice whispering: choose one. This is why watching Chopra and Jonas do the opposite was so important to me. They didn’t choose one side—they chose both.”
