A Bibliotherapist, a Gender Expert and a Book That Hit Like a Gut Punch | James by Percival Everett

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, June 30, 2025 • Duration 35:19

What do a children’s book author and a gender justice leader have in common? Turns out—plenty, especially when the book in question hits like a gut punch.

In this episode, I sat down with Bhakti Mathur and Nisha Dhawan to unpack James by Percival Everett. Bhakti’s journey from banker to bibliotherapist adds a whole new layer to how stories can heal, while Nisha brings her fierce, frontline experience working with girls across 15 countries. We talk language, resistance, trauma, and what it means to write yourself into being.

This one’s part book club, part therapy, and full of wisdom!
