Quotes

  • We first of all have to cultivate the habit of reading, before more people would be motivated to write.
  • Representation matters, and persons with disabilities are sorely underrepresented.
  • Persons with disabilities are usually portrayed as being feeble and asking for handouts, in the media. I want to change that perception. We have weaknesses and strengths like everybody else and it’s about time the focus moved from what we can’t do to what we CAN do.
  • A strong female lead, gives a role model for girls to want to emulate.
  • I intend to change perceptions with my story.
  • I was frustrated; frustrated with societal perception of people with disabilities and frustrated with reading about a foreigner's perspective of the "African Story", which usually involves wars, famines, AIDS and child soldiers. I think it is time for us to tell our own stories.Farida speaking on the inspiration for her writing
