Hello, 911? Yes, I'm calling because it's 2021 and brown people are still underrepresented in cinematography about the tech industry. "The Startup Wife" is a breath of fresh air: author Tahmima Anam invites us into the story of Asha Ray, a brilliant coder caught up in the throes of romance involving her high school crush.
The two of them set off on a journey to bring a technological concept to life, and thus begins their foray into the startup world. Brown Girl contributor Anushree Sreedhar.

The ability to have someone truly get you is only part of the journey towards true love. Meeting great matches is the other.👌🏾Matchmaking is one avenue to meet people and with a very personalized and caring experience like with @BanyanWay’s signature service, you can have a whole team on your side, wanting the best for you.
In partnership with BanyanWay, Coach Varsha here to show you how a signature service and caring team can make a difference when finding love and a partner that fits your lifestyle.
And, you may be wondering, why am I the authority on this? Well, as a South Asian who has been through a divorce, dating again and getting happily remarried, I trained as a life coach and offer personal coaching and mediation for clients (and their parents) who are looking for lasting love and find they lose momentum when dating despite the number of matches.
If your New Year's goal is to find love, catch my “dos and don’ts of matchmaking” via browngirlmagazine.com.
