I Married a Coconut

As a first-generation Indian American, Priti Tanna grew up walking a tightrope between two vastly different cultures. With the traditional Indian values her family held close to one side and the modern American lifestyle all around her to the other, Priti often felt misunderstood, like an invisible barrier was holding her back from fully belonging in either world.



When a supposed astrological mishap led to Priti symbolically marrying a coconut to remedy her struggles to find love, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that launched her from her comfort zone and revealed her own needs and desires.



I Married a Coconut intertwines Priti's transformative quest, resonating with immigrant parents guiding their children's future, individuals challenging societal norms, and those seeking a profound understanding of themselves. By recounting her own experiences, Priti sets ablaze a vivid symphony of motivation and authentic self-revelation, a poignant reminder that the power to forge an extraordinary path resides within the core of our being.
