The poems in She cover an already long career as an inspiring live poet, host and workshopper - it is obvious straight away that Sharena has produced a formidable body of work. Her poems are real, raw and honest, addressing issues such as survival, cultural-identity, life's battles, self-love, body dysmorphia and many other subjects that people struggle to speak out about. Her love of nature is also evident. She rights with her emotions to the fore and her heart at the centre - with a power that can leave you breathless.

Poems To My Younger Self is exactly that. I have transformed and lived through so many things that my younger self wouldn't have been able to fathom. I am proud, I am here, and I am ready to speak my truth. There are so many things I wish I could let little Shanika know about adulting. Like how we can feel guilty for having emotions. How we are made to feel like we shouldn't cry much like when we are children, so in that regard nothing has really changed. How your superheroes become your stories antagonists. How you think you have found the love of your life and then you find 3 more. How the dreams of being a wife at 26 is looking more like 30-ish.

This subject seems so appropriate to a poet whose presence, way of reaching out to every member of her audience, and most of all her smile, seem to create smiles all around her. Her leaps of imagination take the breath away. Her use of recurring imagery draws a safety-net of light around her listeners and readers. Some of t...

Farah is a lawyer living and working in London. She’s just ended a long relationship, and her parents are looking for a husband – whether Farah wants one or not. So far, so normal. But at a work dinner, hosted by a dangerously powerful man, she comes across a young woman called Razia, who Farah soon realises is being kept as a domestic slave. Farah travels from the law courts of London to the brick kilns of Lahore, and there she begins to uncover the traps that keep generations of people enslaved. Everywhere she turns there is deep-rooted oppression and corruption. She teams up with a human rights lawyer Ali to seek justice for Razia, but they cannot prevent the disaster that unfolds.
