My husband @thesunnydhillon.com spoke with @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social about his memoir, "Hide and Sikh: Letters From a Life in Brown Skin." Proud of him for sharing his experiences as a racialized person in Canada and how that shapes how we're raising our daughter

Book cover for Hide and Sikh: Letters from a Life in Brown Skin by Sunny Dhillon (Wolsak & Wynn): Memoir. In 2018, Sunny Dhillon resigned as a journalist with the Globe and Mail. His blog post announcing his departure went unexpectedly viral. In this sharply funny memoir, shaped as a series of letters to his daughter, Dhillon shares his journey so that his daughter will not have to struggle through the lessons he took too long to learn, so that she will know who she is and be proud. https://bookstore.wolsakandwynn.ca/products/hide-and-sikh Book cover for The Revolution Will Not Be Rated G by Keya Chatterjee (Green Writers Press): Romance featured in 100 Notable Small Press Books of 2025 (https://lithub.com/100-notable-small-press-books-of-2025/): " If you longingly look back to the 2010s dystopian craze, you’ll be glad to know it’s back. For those who were teenagers during this time and are looking for something more adult with an emphasis on romance, this is the perfect read. A queer Romeo-and-Juliet tale set in 2042 Upland and Lowland US, where segregation is back, and hurricane Eamon is set to destroy all with the help of the richest."

Our latest #WritersBlock features @thesunnydhillon.com on his debut memoir, HIDE AND SIKH (@wolsakandwynn.bsky.social), how writing helps him make sense of the world, & the stories of growing up with racism he hopes will prepare others who share his experience.

🔗: alllitup.ca/writers-bloc...
The image is a "Writer's Block" graphic with the series title in the upper right corner and the All Lit Up logo in the upper left. The graphic's image is a black and white author photo of Sunny Dhillon. The cover of his memoir "Hide and Sikh" is in the bottom left corner. The cover is a gradient of vibrant purple and orange tones, and the title of the text takes up the entire cover in large, slightly transparent, sans serif white text.
