KRISHNNI

KHANNA

TEDx SPEAKER         AUTHOR         YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE

Born in India in 2007, I moved to

the United States with my parents in 2017.
 

I experienced peer shaming and exclusion as an immigrant, so I started Detoximind in 2022 for stressed and isolated youth.
 

I live in Austin, TX, USA and I'm a high school junior at Westwood High School. 2024 is a big year for me. I debuted on the TEDx stage in March, and my very first novel is ready for launch in the summer!

My first novel

"I am not who you see" is the story of Veda,

a spirited nine-year-old girl from India. Veda's life

goes through a jarring shift when her parents decide to emigrate to America and build a new life there. 

Despite her woes about leaving India, she hopes

for adventure in a new country. Veda's hopes are crushed as her first year in an American elementary school brings her prejudice and alienation from her new classmates. The second school year turns into a devastating nightmare of public shame and humiliation.

Adolescent Veda must navigate the adversities of being an immigrant and hope to find acceptance. Will she fit in by concealing who she is or choose to remain true to herself?
