Krishnni Khanna was born in India in 2007 and moved to the United States with her parents in 2017. Krishnni is a high schooler, author and TEDx speaker who advocates for the inner well-being of youth. In 2022 she created Detoximind, a student-led movement through which Krishnni and her team bring peer-based support to teens and youth grappling with stress, shame, exclusion and isolation. She currently resides in Austin,Texas with her parents and their puppy Yuki.
Krishnni’s first novel “I AM NOT WHO YOU SEE” is launching in June 2024. Many of the protagonist’s experiences in the book are inspired from Krishnni’s high and lows as a ten-year-old immigrant in America, and how she rebuilt her sense of self and regained her identity in her new surroundings.
