Dear ABCDlady Readers,
When I was younger, I was terrified of any changes
in my life. Perhaps that’s what happens when you live in the
same home from kindergarten to high school! Going away to college
was a huge adjustment for me, and all moves and major life events
always take me additional time to sort through. This month, we decided
to make ABCDlady’s issue about change and new beginnings.
First, we bring you activist Valarie Kaur. If
the name sounds familiar to you, it should—we featured her
four years ago after she was arrested for attempting to document
police abuse at the Republican National Convention. This young lady
is continuing to inspire change around her. Just last year, she
released a five-year-in-the-making, post-9/11 documentary, Divided
We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath. Since then, Kaur has taken
her show on the road, going from venue to venue across the country
to educate Americans about diversity. This month, we meet
Kaur and get to know her and her entire family!
For those trying to turn over a new leaf and lose
a few pounds, the next two articles are must-reads. First, we discuss
South
Asian cuisine: the foods you can continue to enjoy and the items
you should avoid. Next, we give you some exercise
alternatives to spice up your workout. I thought I knew everything
there was to know about workouts, but this article even has me
adding items to my to-do list. Definitely check it out if you’re
serious about decreasing your jeans size.

Speaking of jeans, our
Desi
Diva lets you in on the summer items you can continue to wear
in the fall when you are not ready to break out your winter wardrobe.
She also tells you about some must-have bags to always keep you
looking your best.
New to South Asian cooking? Our cuisine expert
provides South Asian recipes with familiar ingredients that you
can find at any grocery store.
This month, we also encounter a few people experiencing
change on a large scale. One of our writers discusses how she got
over her fear of commitment and purchased
her very own home. Our Parenting expert discusses what you need
to know after learning
your child has a disability. And our Love
and Sex expert meets two Desis who want more emotional intimacy
with their partners.
And in other news, ABCDlady was featured in NPR's
Magazine Mavens segment last month. Check out our interview!
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Navdeep Kathuria
