Review

Jaspreet voices all the taboos of a brown girl's existence with truth, honesty and blatancy -- Shazia Mirza, comedian and writer

Stunning . . . this is not just an insightful declaration of empowerment. The book is a toolkit designed to equip women with the confidence they need to navigate an intersectional identity. -- DESIblitz

Jaspreet’s writing provides vital access to a beautifully captured experience of growing up in a diverse Britain: this results in a beautifully informative, entertaining and affirming book. -- Preet Gill, MP

A rousing manifesto, borne from Kaur's wide-ranging personal experiences and those of other strong brown women, for taking our identities and power back from society and fully owning our voices and places in the world. Beyond "essential reading", this book should be "canonical reading." -- Jenny Bhatt, author of the award-winning Each of Us Killers

This is an authentic, bold and and inspiring read. It talks about some of the most crucial topics in society which I can strongly identify with. As an Indian woman who was brought up in Scotland, I felt her book amazingly reflected most of my own personal experiences at the same time... I believe all brown girls and beyond will find a piece of themselves between these pages. The book is informative and important. I would highly recommend it! -- Dr Pushpinder Chowdhry, MBE, founder and CEO of The UK Asian Film Festival and Tongues on Fire
