Join the Royal Society of Arts and the LGBTQ+ Community Centre Book Club for a special evening with writer and editor, Sharan Dhaliwal, as we explore her groundbreaking book Burning My Roti: Breaking Barriers as a Queer Indian Woman.
In this powerful memoir-manifesto, Dhaliwal blends personal experience with sharp cultural commentary to explore identity, sexuality, mental health and the weight of expectations placed on queer South Asian women. Dhaliwal will read some of her favourite extracts from the book and engage in an honest and empowering conversation about what it means to carve space for yourself when the world tells you not to exist.
Whether you’ve read the book or are just discovering it, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from one of the most vital voices in contemporary British culture.
