We had the good fortune of connecting with Radhaa Nilia and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Radhaa, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk is deeply ingrained in my journey, a testament to an upbringing marked by perpetual change. The turbulence of my youth, characterized by a lack of stability and familiarity, became the crucible for the resilience and adaptability I now hold dear. In a more conventional upbringing, the allure of a stable, unchanging life might have swayed me. However, constant change was my reality, sparking a thirst for the unknown and a curiosity that extended beyond familiar horizons. My mother defied societal norms with the audacious creation of a gallery. With no safety net, she became its visionary, navigating a “make it or break it” scenario. Her unwavering determination and refusal to succumb to circumstances left an indelible mark on my mind and heart. A footsteps I would soon follow from an inspired watchful eyes.
Observing her fearless pursuit of the unknown, I embraced risks as integral chapters in my adventure. Delving into new skills, perspectives, and opportunities, I recognized the importance of stumbling, falling, and rising again. Being willing to fall flat on your face is crucial; the most profound learning occurs in those moments. This saying by Confucius encapsulates it perfectly, “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” To live authentically, we must be willing to take risks and embrace the inevitable falls along the way.
When I began my journey into book publishing, I was clueless—unaware of even the basics. The process was humbling and exciting because I acquired the knowledge through relentless effort and numerous mistakes. I’ve learned that perseverance pays off. Over time, I’ve mastered various aspects, even teaching classes and assisting authors in publishing their work. It’s immensely fulfilling because it feels like I’ve earned my stripes.
It’s wild when a few of our authors, who had big-time publishers after working with us, would tell me that this experience was so healing for them. They felt deeply connected, expressing trauma from being picked up and then shelved or only interacting with assistants. They found our process to be a more holistic approach full of support. However, what truly makes me glow is when authors tell me with the greatest sincerity that they can’t believe their dream came true. To be a part of that is genuinely special, and I am humbled and grateful. I believe in the power of genuine connection and meaningful creation, which fuels my purpose.
I believe in a society that embraces mistakes as a crucial part of learning. We are constantly learning, and fumbles and errors are just part of the journey. This contrasts the prevailing punishment and cancel culture that demands an unrealistic standard of perfection. I advocate for a more compassionate approach, acknowledging that everyone makes mistakes and learns rather than perpetuating a toxic culture of unrealistically high standards. One thing we really help our authors with, is feeling comfortable in sharing their most authentic stories. Our author incubator programs really support authors to start to feel safe withing themselves and their words. It’s so beautiful to see people blooming into who they truly are.

Collaborating on transformative projects requires holding a sacred space for authors to explore and express the depths of their stories.
Q: What lessons has Radhaa Publishing House learned along the way?
A: Launching Radhaa Publishing House unfolded a powerful lesson: you don’t need anyone’s approval or a standing ovation to kickstart something remarkable. Honestly, even I, at the beginning, wasn’t entirely sure about it. But it wasn’t about me; it was this vision of authors converging from every corner of the world for collaborative books. You dive into these ventures because you envision something beyond just yourself or your ego. Yes, the ego takes a knock sometimes, especially when those fears of criticism creep in, but if your goal is to create something uplifting and inspiring, that’s what keeps you moving forward. That was the driving force for me.
Reflecting on Radhaa Publishing House’s journey, one thing shines bright – the captivating blend of genuine passion and an unwavering belief in our mission. It’s a non-negotiable, especially when the path gets a bit rocky. Staying true to our creative essence and holding fast to the big picture is what keeps us grounded when things get intricate.
Running a small business like ours calls for a wealth of time, energy, and patience. Particularly when navigating collaborative projects and attending to the unique needs of our wonderful authors. It’s not just about crafting a product; it’s about immersing ourselves in the entire process—marketing, client care, and ensuring our authors’ writing dreams unfold authentically. And let’s be real, this isn’t some get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a constant stream of work, from crafting to client interactions, showcasing the profound depth of our commitment.
So, if you’re venturing into your own small business, remember this: you better authentically love what you’re doing and believe in it. Otherwise, the journey might lose its luster, and there won’t be anyone to pick you up, motivate you, or even understand what it takes. But that’s okay. Every great journey requires a passionate heart and a steadfast belief. As Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”
Q: How did you manage to curate collaborative books?
A: At Radhaa Publishing House, our approach to curating collaborative books is rooted in a profound commitment to projects we authentically love and believe in.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
As a growing small business owner, my packed schedule usually revolves around managing various projects and indulging in my creative pursuits, often leaving little time for casual socializing.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A heartfelt tribute to my extraordinary mother, Maya—an immigrant who, through hard work, transformed from her early days at the crafts market to becoming the town’s pioneering businesswoman of color, shattering glass ceilings. Now, coming full circle, she serves as a wise elder, Maya the Shaman. Her journey, highlighted in the book, “Infinite Cosmic Records: Sacred Doorways to Healing & Remembering,” showcases unwavering determination and creative vision. Witnessing her overcome oppression repeatedly with a heart full of love and commitment to rise higher is a constant source of inspiration.
