I’ve never been this excited about Women’s Day before this year. It wasn’t just another day on the calendar for me. This year, we had something extra special to celebrate “Brave Inked Emotions,” an anthology curated by Roma Gupta Sinha and authored by 28 courageous women, which was launched on 8th March.
Yes, Roma Gupta Sinha is the mastermind behind this book, a well-known figure in the blogging sphere with seven books to her name. This anthology wouldn’t have become a reality without her commitment and support.
A Sneak Peek Inside anthology: Brave Inked Emotions
Now, let’s talk about what made this anthology so special. Emotions are the heart and soul of “Brave Inked Emotions,” weaving through each page and resonating with readers on a deeply personal level.
Inside “Brave Inked Emotions,” readers will find a treasure of 31 soul-stirring stories from some of India’s most eminent women writers. From the heartwarming story of a young bride’s resilience to the awe-inspiring journey of a wheelchair-bound young girl, each story was guaranteed to tug at heartstrings and inspire readers.
Lessons Learned and Hearts Touched
This book is not just about overcoming adversity but also about the power of emotional wellness. In this anthology, you will discover invaluable insights into managing mental health, supporting others in their time of need, and finding strength in uncertainty. Whether you are men, woman, young, or old, these stories will touch your soul in ways they never thought possible.
My Anthology Contribution: Breaking Stereotypes
Oh, did I mention it? Yours truly, Messymom, is also part of this incredible anthology! My contribution? Well, let me spill the beans. First up, I’m dismantling the stigma around men’s emotional health.
Yes, you heard that right! It’s high time we break free from the outdated notion that men should bottle up their feelings. In my story, I’ll take you on a journey of self-discovery, where I learned to embrace my emotions and encourage others to do the same.
But wait, there’s more! I’m also shedding light on the age-old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Scratch that – “Don’t judge a child by his grades!” In a world obsessed with academic achievements, I’m here to remind you there’s so much more to a child than just their grades. In this story, you’ll learn about the incident that taught me this lesson.
“Brave Inked Emotions” isn’t just a book; it celebrates women’s unstoppable spirit. Let’s unite, celebrate our strength, and pay tribute to the women who have paved the way for us all.
