oreword by Fiyaz Mughal OBE, founder of 'Tell MAMA', a national faith hate crime reporting project. Listen to Elizabeth's interview with Phoebe Aurelia on Croydon FM here. "[In a town in the US] all the Jewish community stand outside one of the mosques with plaques like 'we're here for you' showing that support, that sense of community, no matter what religion ... seeing these little glimmers of hope that's the important thing and I feel like your collection of poetry just adds to the glimmer of hope ... We're definitely a big supporter and we'll stay supporting." "It's uncomfortable reading, the visual imagery is raw as if Ms Arif-Fear has cried her way through each stanza. The poetry is gripping; it's a book which draws us through it at an incredible speed, as if you are on a train passing through the very worst and occasionally the best of human nature." She Speaks We Hear. Read full review. "Arif-Fear speaks about the sickening realities of child marriage, female genital mutilation and modern slavery and picks up on issues that are affecting many, many lives across the globe and in the UK ... She is fearless in her drive to expose the socio-cultural norms that have been imposed on people and the injustices which many men, women and children continue to face worldwide." Foreword, Fiyaz Mughal OBE "This book leaves you feeling that you have travelled the ambit of human exploitation and misery in the hands of an inspirational guide." "...makes what can seem remote, almost academic, very very real." From 5* Amazon reader reviews
