STORIES FOR SOUTH ASIAN SUPERGIRLS
I am proud to have my work featured in Stories for South Asian Supergirls as one of ten international South Asian female artists contributing to the book.
Through the inspirational stories of 50 famous and under-celebrated women from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, South Asian girls will have a chance to dream about lives for themselves that radically differ from the limited narratives and stereotypes written for them by their culture, wider society and the mainstream media.
Bringing together illustrious entertainers, pioneering business leaders and a host of other, equally remarkable yet less well known, figures, Stories for South Asian Supergirls seeks to redress the imbalance for young girls of colour by empowering them to break new ground for themselves and to inspire others in the process.
Illustrated with striking portraits by ten international South Asian female artists, the is a book for all ages – the perfect gift that will be treasured by parents as much as their children will enjoy reading them.
