Maunica is a fiction writer based in Washington, DC. Her roots are in India, Uganda and Louisiana. She is the daughter of stateless refugees and the mother of two light-filled children. She has devoted her life to immigrant justice, leading her from representing detainees on the U.S.-Mexico border to drafting laws in the halls of the Congress. She has been “in the room where it happens” and can report that it is not as fun as expected. Her fiction examines the complexities of human relationships and she writes beauty into spaces of trauma.
