Simran's Shelf - September 2023
A look into what's stacking up this month.
This month’s regular roundup of highlights and news, all in one place.
Speaking of news
I used to hate public speaking. But over the years, I've come to love it. I see it now as an opportunity to share insights on connection, empathy, optimism, and justice - and to help people see the world from a fresh perspective.
I'm thrilled to be entering the next phase of my speaking journey with a brand new speaking reel. Please check it out and share with anyone you think might be interested (schools, companies, organizations, etc).
I'm officially represented by Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau, and all inquiries can go to my wonderful agent, Hayley Shear: hshear@penguinrandomhouse.com
