My Past Is a Foreign Country by Zeba Talkhani

5.0

In this coming of age memoir, Zeba Talkhani describes her life - from growing up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, studying in India and Germany, and finally entering adulthood in the UK.

With an honest and raw voice, Talkhani shows us how feminism is a journey of self-love and self-discovery. She describes the path in unlearning biases she was brought up with and fighting the patriarchal status quo within herself and her community.

Talkhani's story is empowering! It advocates for everyone to love ourselves and stay true to our values. It argues to be kind to all, even people who are not kind to you, but also for using our voices to stand up for ourselves and not accept any abuse!
