Naheed Hasnat Senzai

Naheed (who also writes under N. H. Senzai) grew up speaking two languages, balancing life on the edge of two cultures, and, happily, two cuisines—tandoori chicken and hot dogs, grilled side by side on the 4th of July. She got on a plane for the first time at two months, in Chicago, IL, where she was born, and has been traveling ever since. Naheed grew up in San Francisco, Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and attended boarding school in London, England where she was voted “most likely to lead a literary revolution” due to an ability to get away with reading comic books in class. She attended UC Berkeley and Columbia University, while pursuing a passion for writing. Naheed lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, a professor of political science, two sons, and a cat who owns them.
