'It has always been post-9/11 for me. I was born on a Thursday in 2005.

'I called Western Sydney my first home. I have navigated this nation, albeit for a short time, in a body with identities that are already politicised. Emerging into young adulthood as a brown, Muslim girl has required me to understand and analyse how I am perceived by individuals and larger societal institutions.' (Introduction)
