Hi, I’m Roya! By day, I work on social impact + communications, and my nights and weekends are spent consuming food + books/news/media (often simultaneously). I started this newsletter to hold myself accountable to writing more consistently and to help me refine my voice.

This photo was taken in one of those photo booths celebrities (including HRH Beyonce) have at their parties which may or may not give facelifts. This will be my headshot for eternity, or until I stumble into one of photo booths again.
