I can sit down with my sisters, and they can talk about my body in a certain way, and I will laugh about it with them. That's such a comfortable and loving relationship. But if a stranger I meet in a party makes the same comment, depending on their tone, that's not okay.

I sat with myself one day and asked, 'Who is in those prestigious literary circles? Do they represent me? Do they appreciate the topics I write about and the style in which I write? Do those gatekeepers let a demographic like mine through the door?' And the answer was no.

Truth, honesty, empowerment - it's what I want for myself and my readers.

For some of my young female readers, it will be the first time they will have seen a Punjabi author be successful in the West.

So I just want to make sure I do right by them, wherever this takes me.
