At home， at school， at the temple， it felt like every environment I walked into was trying to shape， mould and bend me to fit。 But I just didn’t。 It’s a crazy idea that we should always fit in！ So small-minded。 So reductive。 Sometimes you just don’t。I've watched all of Anita Rani's documentaries and I'm always excited when she releases something new。 In her biography of her life so far， she really holds her heart on her sleeve， she's ballsy and honest to the core。 This is what makes her TV so go At home， at school， at the temple， it felt like every environment I walked into was trying to shape， mould and bend me to fit。 But I just didn’t。 It’s a crazy idea that we should always fit in！ So small-minded。 So reductive。 Sometimes you just don’t。I've watched all of Anita Rani's documentaries and I'm always excited when she releases something new。 In her biography of her life so far， she really holds her heart on her sleeve， she's ballsy and honest to the core。 This is what makes her TV so good as well， you just know you're going to get a great piece whatever she is investigating on。 She's British Punjabi and proud。 I learned a lot from this work， the life of a （brown） woman （she uses this term herself） and the harsh realities of growing up in a racist environment。 She doesnt let this phase her， but confronts the truth head on of having to work triply hard to get what she wants。 In many ways， the chapter of her coming of age， the conflicts in her household， despite it being loving， the difficulties of becoming an adult in Bradford and having to straddle and live in two value systems is the story of many of us and this is why it is so relatable。 It's a love letter to all girls， in a similar predicament， one where she encourages never to let go of your dreams and fly high despite everyone's expectations of you。 To find your voice and turn the volume up！ I know she's just going to go on and do more brilliant things in her life， the first part， her initial 40 years， just being the solid multilayered foundations to project her upwards into work or personal life dreams she so deserves to see realised。 5 stars。 A great journalist。 。。。more
