In conversation with Shweta Aggarwal: The Black Rose

DateTimeBSTHybrid

Join us for a session with Shweta Aggarwal as she explores the impact of persistent bullying on a six-year-old.

 Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, Shweta shares her experiences with colour prejudice and insensitive remarks about her brown skin tone, as detailed in her new book, "The Black Rose: My Story of Colorism." 

Growing up between India and Japan and now living in the UK, she reflects on the painful elements of her past, particularly the taunting she faced for being dark-skinned in a society that often equates fairness with superiority. 

This session will offer a candid exploration of her journey from childhood to adulthood, confronting colour prejudice and uncovering buried secrets, while addressing the complexities of identity and belonging.
