From Writing at 11 to Leading Gen Z Voices: Risha Chaurasia on Storytelling, Finance & Youth Impact

In this episode of The AboutHer Show, I speak with Risha Chaurasia — a Gen Z powerhouse who published her first novel at just 11 and hasn’t looked back since. Now 18, Risha is also the founder of The Youth Story, a platform that highlights young changemakers and their stories. We dive into her journey as a writer, her passion for impact, how she balances creativity with her pursuit of a finance career, and what it’s like being a young woman navigating both ambition and identity. And yes — the rapid fire round is a vibe.
