About this event

Do you decide where you fit in or has that already been decided for you?

How do you prove your point in a society that questions "Are you sure it’s not all in your head?"

Author and Write On! contributor, Juneha Chowdhury, invites you to join this thought-provoking session to discuss how society perceives South Asian women and the idea of being boxed in.

Participants will have the opportunity to write about their own personal journey, navigating prejudice, alienation and discrimination through various interactive tasks throughout the session.
