Rukhsanna Guidroz
multicultural writer in usa
Rukhsanna Guidroz was born in Manchester, England. With a Persian-Indian
father and a Chinese mother, Rukhsanna was always drawn to traveling to faraway
places. After studying French at King’s College, London, and political science
at the Sorbonne, Paris, she left for the steamy shores of Hong Kong. There, she
worked as a reporter for the Hong Kong Standard daily newspaper and later as a
producer of the current affairs show "Hong Kong Today" for RTHK's
Radio 3. She also wrote features for in-flight magazines for China Airlines,
Qantas, and Emirates.
A windsurfing trip to the Hawaiian Islands changed the
course of Rukhsanna's life. Swept away by the sheer beauty, relaxed lifestyle,
and warm climate of the islands, she decided to make Maui her home. After becoming a mother, Rukhsanna began her
teaching career. She particularly enjoys encouraging her students,
kindergarteners, or high schoolers to write from a place deep within themselves
where creativity has no limits.
In 2005, Rukhsanna was introduced to meditation and
intuitive practices. Both have allowed her to develop her personal growth and
her daily writing. Inspired by life experiences in Europe, Asia, and now
Hawaii, Rukhsanna has many stories she'd like to share.
