Martha Chandran-Dickerson, was born in India, raised in Europe and East Africa, and now resides in America. As a global citizen and Indian Christian, she is an anomaly.

Her eclectic background informs her views and she embraces diversity wherever she encounters it. As a daughter to a Statistician and an Economics Instructor, she abandoned the sciences, and embraced the arts, initially pursuing journalism but eventually becoming an educator, as a writing consultant. She is also a freelance writer. When she isn’t collaborating with student writers she is full-on mothering her boys. She hopes to pursue her PhD in English, with a Postcolonial emphasis and aspires to write a memoir about her meanderings through the peaks, plateaus and valleys of her borderless life.
