Abbotsford’s Saniya Kaushal has released her second book of poetry that she says is dedicated to anyone who is in search of their worth, who feels like an imposter, or who feels alone in their battles.
The book, entitled ‘you are so worthy’, shares her own experiences and observations and also touches on themes of mental health and racism.
The 21-year-old released her first poetry book entitled ‘you are not ugly’ in 2020. She said she is a firm believer that there is strength in vulnerability.
