About the Author
Elika Ansari is a writer, social scientist, and humanitarian professional. She has been working in NGOs in refugee camps for the past two years, including what has been recently described as ‘the world’s worst refugee camp’, and as such she has had the (mis)fortune of hearing many touching stories about hardship and perseverance. She tries to focus her writing on globally relevant issues with the hope of one day making a difference through the stroke of the pen (or click of the keyboard), however small that may be. She loves writing anything from essays and articles to children’s fiction, and she does not shy away from the occasional rants about society’s downfalls. Ansari has published 100+ reviews, articles, and short stories, and her debut children’s book, ‘Seacity Rising: A Tale of Unwatery Adventures’ by Black Rose Writing is available now at Amazon
