GLADIATORS

Introduction

I have thrown out the rules with this creation. For this book is not just one thing. Yes, it is about memoirs, but it is also about history's stamp on ordinary people, self-expression through creative prose, self-development through reflective questions, and it is also an invitation to the reader to begin to draft, write, and share their experiences within these pages.

Personal Reflections

Within these pages, my struggle with Invisibility is influenced by my experience of disability. Whereas it was migration which exposed my grandparents to the threat of Alienation.

Shared Themes

Even though the details of our stories may differ from your own, the themes of our lives are common to many. I hope that you will enjoy our journeys. And I invite you to write your story alongside our stories.

Invitation to Write

Together we will create a collection of writings about Invisibility, Alienation, and Resilience! And we will share the confidence and courage it takes to express our internal fighter, our inner Gladiator.
