Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty

Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty is built around art from Hana Shafi's popular online affirmation series.

Hana Shafi

Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty built around art from Hana Shafi's popular online affirmation series focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it's hard to do so.

Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive.

This is not an advice book: it's a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we areflaws and all.(FromBook*hug Press)
