About me
Uma Kukathas lives in Seattle, where she works as a writer for a nonprofit advocating and supporting unionized care workers. In her spare time, she writes creative nonfiction about four generations of her Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora family, who left their homeland during the British colonial era, put down roots in Malaysia, and then over the next century continued to uproot, roam, scatter, and settle all over the world. Uma attended the Tin House Summer Workshop, and her creative nonfiction has appeared in Swamp Pink and Sundog Lit.
