Fahmida Ferdousi-Shuni Bangla Book Publishing

Bengalis of New York

Season 3 - Episode 20: The name of our app is Shuni Bangla, your book library. So when we started it, the focus was (and still is the main focus), is that we want to build a digital library. It just started because couple of years ago I got injured in a car accident and I got disabled and one of the disabilities is that I cannot read very well. So, I used to read a lot of books. I like books and especially when I was sick and I was home for such a long time, and I could not read it was kind of making me crazy. And then I found out that through our local libraries, American libraries, I can listen to audio books and they were kind of a lifesaver.

So I can say that many of our ideas, our passion, our love for Bangladesh. All of those are kind of bound together in this audio book, library, app idea.
