The Woman Who Became Everyone

The Woman Who Became Everyone is a deeply personal memoir in poetry exploring identity, womanhood, motherhood, cultural expectation, mental health, eating-disorder recovery, cancer, faith, masking and receiving an autism diagnosis later in life.Told across six movements - Watching, Performing, Breaking, Knowing, Healing and Becoming - Selina Akhtar traces the experience of losing yourself in the roles you learn to perform, and the slow journey of finding your way home.Written with honesty, vulnerability and hope, this collection is for anyone who has carried silent battles, questioned where they belong, or spent years trying to become enough for everyone else.This is not a book about being fixed.It is about being seen.And remembering who you were before the world told you who to become.
