From her polarizing portrayal on Netflix's Emmy-nominated Indian Matchmaking, Aparna Shewakramani became an overnight ambassador for women demanding to be heard-in their love lives, workplaces, and in every space they occupy. Ever transparent about the vitriol she experienced ranging from cyber bullying to death threats, Aparna took her own story from the press straight into writing her first memoir, She's Unlikeable: And Other Lies That Bring Women Down. Now a "recovering attorney", Aparna has pivoted her JD from Vanderbilt University Law and 10 years of legal practice into writing, as well as digital storytelling and brand consulting.
