Many teens face racism, financial challenges, and family dysfunction–but all of them fight for truth, hope, and control of their lives. Samira Ahmed, author of “Hollow Fires” and Sabaa Tahir, author of “All My Rage” discuss these conflicts and the resilience possessed by the characters in their stories with moderators Sasa Aakil and Nandini Kotamurthy.
