Queering Constellations

""Queering Constellations"" is one of the most unique memoirs I have ever read. The writing, stories, and poetry will expand your worldview. This carefully constructed interactive memoir makes you laugh, smile, and remember how truly divine our journeys are. Shanita Hubbard, Author of the award-winning book Ride-Or-Die: A Feminist Manifesto For The Well-Being of Black Women. In Queering Constellations, Raja Gopal Bhattar provides multiple gifts for their readers. Raja opens up about their own journey to radical self-acceptance and knowledge, and they also provide readers with prompts and ideas to reflect on their own path. It's a vulnerable and authentic offering that will especially resonate with young South Asians grappling with the complexities of identity, ancestry and community in today's world. Deepa Iyer, writer, Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection and We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future. ""Raja's book is a deeply intimate yet playful and compassionate memoir, one that immediately captured my heart and mind. You feel like you're sitting with a dear friend, who takes your hand and welcomes you into a shared sacred space of beauty, divinity and power. It is not just Raja's story told to you in a linear way, it is truly a conversation between them and you, the reader. This book is a gift for anyone who wants to feel less alone in our fractured world. A reminder that that humanity we share with each other can be delightful, playful, and magical - and worth fighting for."" Madhuri Shekar, Playwright & Screenwriter of A Good Indian Boy ""Dr. Bhattar beautifully and skillfully invites us not only into their heart, but into our own hearts as well. Each page is simultaneously a memory and a guide through love, pain, and self-expression. A must-read!"" Brahmacharini Shweta Chaitanya
