We'll discuss microaggressions, menstruation and mental health, as well as how to build a foundation of self-love.

Join this little human’s quest of self-discovery through the metaphor of a lion’s mane. The narrative’s rhythm flows alongside the vibrant red fabric of a dastaar (turban worn by members of the Sikh community), strengthening the character’s identity with each new word stitched into the dastaar.

Brown Girl Like Me is an inspiring memoir and empowering manifesto that equips women with the confidence and tools they need to navigate the difficulties that come with an intersectional identity. Jaspreet Kaur unpacks key issues such as the media, the workplace, the home, education, mental health, culture, confidence and the body, to help South Asian women understand and tackle the issues that affect them and help them be in the driving seat of their own lives.
