Aarti Shahani | Here We Are | Talks at Google
69Former NPR tech reporter Aarti Shahani discusses her book "Here We Are", a memoir about her family’s immigration story. Shahani combines masterful storytelling with award-winning journalistic prowess to take you on a wild coming-of-age journey. Stops include a ritzy Manhattan prep school, the notorious Rikers Island jail, the hallowed halls of Harvard, an international kidnapping, and the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Aarti Shahani is no stranger to crisis. If you’ve heard her voice before, it’s probably on NPR. Aarti has spoken to millions of Americans as the Silicon Valley correspondent – “that Indian IT lady on the radio,” she jokes. In Here We Are, she reveals her astounding journey which started off in a roach-infested tenement in Queens, New York.
