Ruby Hembrom
Ruby Hembrom is an Adivasi publisher, cultural documentarian, and practitioner who founded adivaani in 2012 as a non-profit organization. She is the author of adivaani’s Santal Creation Stories for Children, a retelling of the Santal creation narratives in English, and the prize-winning Disaibon Hul, which focuses on the Santal Rebellion of 1855. Her publishing initiative, now with 19 titles, emerged from the need to assert Adivasi presence in historical, contemporary, social, cultural, and literary spaces, and her advocacy through publishing and knowledge production extends into broader campaigning and movement building for Adivasi communities.
