"I wouldn’t be surprised if, in five years’ time, this collection is adapted for Broadway à la Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls..." - Da'Shawn Mosley, editor and journalist

"..an unforgiving, uncensored, and quite literally naked picture of what it feels like to journey to a new land and the hardships that come with this as well on a deeper level. From the perils of being a woman of colour, to love, acceptance, new beginnings, and hope, this book takes the reader on quite the journey that is familiar through change and self-awareness. Like a bite of dark chocolate, this book is rich, bittersweet, a little discomforting, and by the end of it all, very satisfying." - Ivor Samuel M, Ugandan Poet 

"This is a tender, whimsical and yet fiercely honest exploration of love, identity and personal growth illuminated by a natural world of birds, sky and sea that the poems woo us to revel in...An insightful and impressive debut" - Doreen Baingana, Commonwealth Writers' Prize award winner and author of Tropical Fish

"This collection is beautiful because it is not one thing – just like we, as brown women, are not one thing. We are multi-faceted, complex and sometimes contradictory. I read this book thinking I knew what to expect (being a British South Asian woman myself) but, by the end, I felt like I had traversed the private moments of friends trying to tell me their secret musings!" - Nishma Jethwa, (she/they), Co- Founder & Director, The Rights Collective
