Focusing on feminine dispossession and the brown diaspora, the narrative reflects on the author's mother's life, intertwining themes of migration, violence, and sexuality. Through her mother’s memories, Charania treats her tongue as an archive of intimate experiences and a theoretical object. The storytelling is both sensual and melancholic, revealing the often-silenced survival and resistance of brown mothers. By exploring these hidden narratives, the author critiques the limitations of feminist and queer scholarship, emphasizing the importance of preserving these voices.
