Navigating Life as a Brown Girl
A therapist’s guide for South Asian women
For too long you've been taught to be everything for everyone – except yourself. But now it's time to change the narrative.
My dear brown girls, this book is for you. For every time you've been told to be the perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect wife. For the times you've silenced your own needs to meet expectations you never asked for…
Navigating Life as a Brown Girl holds space for discussions on identity, family dynamics, marriage, mental health, stigma and more. It's full of warmth, honesty and insights from Fahima Ali, a psychotherapist who has walked this path herself.
You'll find stories that give a voice and validation to your experiences, alongside gentle guidance, reflections and therapeutic tools to help you set boundaries with courage and compassion.
It is possible to balance your family's expectations while living your life authentically; this is your guide to creating a life that honours both.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
