About

In their new books, acclaimed Australian journalists Antoinette Lattouf (How to Lose Friends and Influence White People) and Sarah Malik (Desi Girl: On Feminism, Race, Faith and Belonging) chronicle what it was like to forge a path in predominantly white newsrooms while navigating the emotional scars of growing up in Australia during the ‘War on Terror’. They speak with cross-cultural consultant and media expert Tasneem Chopra about championing change and the power of writing from the margins.

Book
