About m a l i k a

Malika Panjabi attends the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. She is in the 10th grade, and this is her first year at GWN. For her, writing is an outlet for things she cannot say, and feelings that are hard to express. Her favorite genres are sci-fi, mystery, memoirs and especially historical fiction; a select few of her favorite would be The Book Thief, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and We All Looked Up. The first book she ever read that eventually got her into writing was Green Angel. 
Other than being a writer, Malika is an avid photographer, as well as short filmmaker. For her, photography and writing go hand-in-hand and together create a powerful effect. Creators such as Annie Leibovitz, Helen Levitt and author Sara Farizan are often sources of inspiration for her. Malika hopes to one day be able to create an impact as strong as theirs.
