Tati Vao Ana Lagai. The hot winds cannot touch me.
This memoir was amazing! Kaur writing was poetic as it was deeply moving and inspiring. Her explanation of how she moves past trauma, hate and grief to find love, joy, acceptance and forgiveness will stay with me forever.
Breathe, push, inhale, exhale. Find wonder in those around you. Na Ko bairi Nahi Begana. I See no Stranger, I See no Enemy.
As a young Brown women, there are so many stories and experiences that Kaur went through that I felt on a deeply personal level. Her activism and dedication to her community and her work shows the strength and resilience, brown and black people have forged in the face of hate. And her wise words of wisdom and steady guide in her work Revolutionary love will continue to help me and I hope many others in facing the problems of today.
This memoir is one that I intent to return to. Time and time again. When I need advice, when I need guidance to find hope again.
