In-person & hybrid UK Punjab Heritage Association bookclub talk Jassa Ahluwalia with Noreen Khan at @unibirmingam Culture Forward was fantastic. It was personal & emotional & many in the audience could resonate with #bothnothalf. Wonderful to see people joining online from overseas, such as New Jersey.

Culture Forward and CAL were really proud to support this first in-person event for UK Punjab Heritage Association. Look forward to seeing the stellar authors in the next three book club talks over the coming weeks!

I wrote about a moving author talk by Jassa Ahluwalia whose book is part memoir, part manifesto for living life as #bothnothalf. He hopes readers will use it as "a map" as they seek out their own cultural identities beyond the boxes we're put in 🙌 ruthmillington.co.uk/jassa-ahluwali…
