Despite being told she'd have to change her name to work, Sheetal persevered to become an award-winning actress and producer, known for her provocative performances in a wide range of memorable roles on film and television. Sheetal puts a spotlight on under-represented groups, not only through her trailblazing work as an actor, but also by being an outspoken advocate. Sheetal served in President Clinton's AmeriCorps, is on the advisory board of Equality Now, and is an ambassador for The Representation Project. She believes if you can dream it, you can be it - even if you don't see it. Sheetal, her husband, and their two kids live in New York and Los Angeles. This is her first children's book. www.sheetalsheth.com
