Description
For too long you've been taught to be everything for everyone – except yourself. But now it's time to change the narrative.
My dear brown girls, this book is for you. For every time you've been told to be the perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect wife. For the times you've silenced your own needs to meet expectations you never asked for…
Navigating Life as a Brown Girl holds space for discussions on identity, family dynamics, marriage, mental health, stigma and more. It's full of warmth, honesty and insights from Fahima Ali, a psychotherapist who has walked this path herself.
You'll find stories that give a voice and validation to your experiences, alongside gentle guidance, reflections and therapeutic tools to help you set boundaries with courage and compassion.
It is possible to balance your family's expectations while living your life authentically; this is your guide to creating a life that honours both.
