CORE TEAM

I'm Brishti and I'm seventeen. I'm a singer and a writer, but above all, I'm a nerd. I love writing poetry, but not as much as I love reading it. It's impossible to talk to me (or read about me, apparently) without being recommended an Ocean Vuong poem. Come hang out with me on my column, where I publish my words and other people's words that make me feel big painful feelings!

I’d write out a neat description of who I am, but oh well - you teenage rapscallions probably wouldn’t have the patience to read it. So, I’ll represent myself in a way that my fellow kids will get:

As a passionate highschooler, Devansh is... no I can't do this. Words will never be able to do justice to who I am, so I'm not going to waste a futile attempt at trying to do that. So maybe if you reach out to me, talk to me, or check out my column, you may get an insight into what this small paragraph was originally tasked to do.

Hi! I'm Snigdha, but everyone calls me snigz. I love being creative, and often exceedingly ridiculous. When I'm not funny, I'm serious but I am always amazing, 24/7. I hope you enjoy what we've put up here at Riot!

I’m Ishana (she/her) and I’m an animal-loving introvert. In my free time, I read, write or draw while listening to music. My love for language (and hoarding) is made apparent by the two (dangerously) overflowing bookshelves in my room. Currently, I can also be found speaking in French to my irritated and disgruntled family members.

Hi! I'm Ananya (or Annie, or Aaliya, or any variation of a name beginning with A). I'm fifteen years old and currently live in Bangalore, India. When I'm not half asleep, I enjoy reading, begging for scraps of affection from my cat, Leo, and going down true crime rabbit holes on Youtube. Writing has always been a way for me to yell about things I love (and despise)- and I hope to bore you with my unrelenting obsessions through my work as well <3 Find me @ananyaxaaliya on Instagram- when it's not deactivated for "focus purposes", that is.

Helloooo!! My name is Akshaj but everyone who knows me calls me Chaand. I like to think that I am a cat by spirit, musician by spirit, writer by spirit, and fun-haver by spirit. I'm all for spirits (not alcohol). I hope u enjoy my articles as much as I enjoy writing them for you!

Grace Treesa is a femme fatale enthusiast from Bangalore, India. She loves metaphors and she hopes to help her readers feel more vividly with them. Most of her writing [peek goodness gracious!] follows the Taylor Swift school of thought [semi-autobiographical] and aims to explain ordinary concepts poetically. She can be found with a Bronte sisters novel or convincing someone to buy her a new plant.
