Sreehitha Moravaneni
Since August of 2020, there has been a quiet yet powerful force within the Sidekick: one that I have had the pleasure of knowing as a colleague, but more importantly as a family friend. I can attest to her unparalleled capacity to meticulously yet joyously craft chocolate truffles topped in oreo crumbs with ease, and I too can admit that I have eaten one too many of them. It’s easy for me to joke with and around Sreehitha. Perhaps it is because of her light attitude that knows when to be serious but loves to also have a good time.
Sreehitha tells stories with intention shouldering each word she puts on the page. In detailing former Coppell High School tennis coach Anthony Smith or examining the return of retro culture amongst teens, Moravaneni does her due diligence, and, as a result, I am entranced.
That is precisely the effect she has on her audience, her friends and her family alike. Her bubbly ever-positive attitude is a light in any room, leaving an indelible mark on everyone she and her stories touch. I am proud to say that I am just one of those very people.
