When Dimple Met Rishi (Dimple and Rishi, #1)

by Sandhya Menon

I feel like I need to speak out, because if no one speaks out, if no one says, This is me, this is what I believe in, and this is why I’m different, and this is why that’s okay, then what’s the point? What’s the point of living in this beautiful, great melting pot where everyone can dare to be anything they want to be?”

One of my favorite parts of being an American citizen is having freedom of speech. I love that marginalized people can voice their opinions, dare to be different, and demand to be accepted if they so choose. Seeing people exercise their rights, including their right to be speak their truths, truly gives me goosebumps!
