As a young, Australian-born Tamil woman, Srisha Sritharan uses poetry to explore contemporary socio-politics. Srisha's passion for spoken word placed her as a 2017 Australian Poetry Slam finalist at the Sydney Opera House, after securing the title of Champion in Sydney, NSW. She hopes to combine serial sh*t-talking with her musical flair to start pressing conversations, both locally and globally. Maheswaran Prabaharan interviewed Srisha regarding her achievements.
