Balaka Ghosal is a bilingual author of multiple books. Her empathetic, pragmatic, intuitive perceptions help her write to protect the earth and its people. She is also a ghostwriter, helping people write memoirs with a message. In her free time, Balaka helps nonprofits with their messages or translates their books into English.

Balaka lives a simple, happy-with-less life in Houston, USA, and likes to spend time tending to her natural garden in her backyard, nurturing an ecosystem that is sustainable with native plants, bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. She loves to connect with her inner self through healing and meditational yoga, which helps to anchor her mind and body into holistic wellness.

Balaka believes in raising grassroots awareness about processes that deeply affect our lives’ health, safety, and wellness. Balaka has served as a long-standing, esteemed, and collaborative community member on the PureEsperanza board and, upon completing her last term, joined the Advisory Council.
