Description
A must-have, compassionate guide for tackling life's challenges as a Brown Girl.
Fahima Ali, a Brown girl raised in the UK, works as a therapist in the South Asian community. Also known as 'The Brown Therapist', she draws on her own lived experience to give a voice, validation and practical support to the often-overlooked struggles women face in the Brown community.
As a society, we often fail to acknowledge or understand that people from different cultural backgrounds experience different lived-in circumstances. Our upbringing shapes and impacts our mental health in distinctive ways. Fahima is on a mission to raise awareness of this touchy subject and amplify the experiences which are usually left unheard and unchanged.
Chapters cover everything from family dynamics, conflicted feelings of identity and friendship to marriage, the stigma of divorce, mental health, generational trauma, and more. Each chapter is split into two parts as Fahima first outlines the 'traditional' narrative within the South Asian community, and then begins to help us unpack it with the use of reflective questions, journal prompts, case studies and practical exercises.
