Saumya Roy is a journalist and author of Castaway Mountain, about a garbage mountain in Mumbai and the people who earn their livelihoods from it. For a new anthology of essays she has a piece about the state of homelessness in San Francisco. The anthology is called How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, and I encourage you to pick up a copy, because it features twelve international writers responding to massive changes in America.

Saumya once ran a micro-loan NGO in Mumbai to help homeless people (and others) — and she’s been on our podcast before.
