Shema Bukhari
Shema Bukhari is a professor of Media Studies, researcher, writer, and incurably curious reader. After more than two decades of teaching, she still finds inspiration in her students, their questions, and the wonderfully unpredictable ways young minds see the world.
She began writing as a child but took the scenic route to believing in her own voice. Her first book, Word Choices, explored self-growth; since then, she has written poetry, stories, reviews, and pieces drawn from the truths people often leave unspoken.
When she is not teaching or writing, Shema is probably reading, travelling, chasing a new idea, or turning life’s quieter moments into stories.
“I write because I am compelled to tell what often remains untold.”
— Shema Bukhari
Welcome to her restless little universe. There are always more stories on the way.
