Healing Through Words: Menaka Raman on Storytelling, Women & Emotional Influence
In this episode of The AboutHer Show, we explore the theme Healing Through Words with storyteller, columnist, and award-winning children’s author Menaka Raman.
From her journey in advertising to writing stories that empower children and gently challenge social norms, Menaka reflects on how storytelling evolves with lived experience. She speaks about women’s voices, humour as honesty, motherhood and creativity, and the responsibility of writing for young minds.
This conversation highlights how words can offer comfort, build confidence, and quietly lead change, especially through empathy and imagination.
