Who am I?
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” — Maya Angelou
I'm Vijay, a story coach and creative strategist dedicated to helping individuals bring their narratives to life. Inspired by my grandmother's tales of resilience, love, and humor, my journey began with a desire to share her story with the world.
After publishing my first short story, Two Shillings, and earning a Master's in Creative Writing in Ireland, I realized the transformative power of storytelling. Winning the 2019 Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Award affirmed my path.
I divide my time between helping others tell their stories and writing my own fiction under the pen name Lakshmi Vee, where I explore the lives of flawed, bold women navigating identity, love, and rebellion.
Now, I guide others in capturing their stories, whether it's a memoir, brand narrative, or personal journey. Let's collaborate to shape your truth and share it with the world.
