Inayah never got to know her birth mother.
She has swept away from the Arabian Sea all the way to the Pacific well before she even knew how to swim.
Being one of the only brown kids in a school full of blonde hair and fake tan taught her how to master the art of blending in with the background.
With a loss of her origin and a desire to know more, join Inayah as she attempts to fill in all the blanks about who she is or rather who she could've been.
However, even if she wants to, she can't do it all alone.
GASLIGHTER is a story centred on self-discovery. It touches on sensitive topics such as sexual assault, self-harm, colourism, racism and most importantly what it means to be a young woman of colour in a world where colour isn't appreciated.
As an ethnic minority myself this holds a very special place in my heart and I hope it will become the same for you too :)

Forever Jahan ✔︎
Jahanara's world is filled with monstrous silhouettes looming in the dark around her, ready to harm her. The coldness of her eyes could slit people's throats. Happiness was nowhere to be found, while sadness has become her companion. Too many questions, yet none of them are ever answered. Shehraz's world is like a breath of fresh air, innocent kisses and sweet smiles. 𝘴𝘩𝘦 was enough for him, and so is the little bundle of joy joining them soon. A perfect family, a lover, and their gift. So much happening at once. Yet, nothing stays forever.

B.O.A.T - Brownest of All Time
Introverted Ilhaam is a hopeless romantic waiting for her own love story, but somehow has come to believe that no man will ever truly love her because of one feature that she is very insecure about - being BROWN-SKINNED. Will Ilhaam meet the man of her dreams? Will she overcome her unending insecurities? Above all, will she learn to love herself? ------- B.O.A.T is more than just a cliche romance. It is a story that revolves around a real social issue - COLORISM, which for years has tormented many people's lives, including mine. I've tried my best to portray the struggles of a brown-skinned girl as it is, which sometimes might look too exaggerated and negative for some readers. Of course, I could've written about a girl who finds comfort and loves her skin tone right from chapter one (because who doesn't like to read about a confident heroine, right?), but I didn't want to sugar-coat anything. This is a story about heartbreak, fighting through your insecurities, falling down, picking yourself up, and learning to love yourself without the need of validation from a man. Try reading it :) You'd love it ♥️ ----- WINNER - Sri Lankan Writers' Awards 2020 (15-09-2020)Terminé
No Homologation
Lakshmi Rajkumar, a bright yet introspective Indian teenager, has always lived between two worlds. Born in India and raised in Japan, her life is a careful balancing act between two cultures. Her grandmother, however, forbids her from immersing herself in Japanese traditions, insisting she remain tethered to her Indian roots. This strict guidance leads Lakshmi to attend an Indian girls' school on Japanese soil, a sanctuary of familiarity within an alien environment. But everything changes when unforeseen circumstances force Lakshmi to transfer to a Japanese high school. To her shock, she is placed in an all-male class-an arrangement as bewildering as it is challenging. Lakshmi's orderly world is thrown into disarray, and for the first time, she is exposed to perspectives and experiences vastly different from her sheltered upbringing. At first, Lakshmi struggles to fit in, her identity caught between rebellion and conformity. She questions the meaning of individuality in a society that prizes uniformity, wrestling with the idea of whether following the crowd is a betrayal of her true self or simply a means of survival. However, through unexpected friendships and clashes of culture, Lakshmi begins to uncover hidden facets of her identity. She discovers that her life, once perceived as dull and colorless, is rich with nuance and potential. As she navigates this uncharted territory, Lakshmi learns that individuality isn't about rejecting everything around you, nor is it about blind assimilation-it's about finding balance and authenticity in a complex world. Her journey is one of self-discovery, where every challenge reveals a new layer of her identity and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live as her own person.
