civil war in her home country.
She has been called a ‘black
monkey’ and told to go back
to where she came from. When
her mum brought her family
over, she wasn’t in search of a
free meal ticket – she didn’t
want Khadija and her sister to
live in fear of being raped or
killed. Can you imagine that?
We also spoke to Brenna
Harding, who has two mums,
Brittania CliffordPugh, who
is a proud Muslim, Abby
Landy, who is HIVpositive,
Shareefa J, who is a plussize
model, Leila Gurruwiwi, who
is an Indigenous Australian,
Lauren Dragosetti and DarrenKumar, who are a mixedrace
couple, and Margot Fink, who
is transgender. The common
factor? They’re all human.
But imagine how boring the
world would be if we were all
carbon copies of each other.
Also in this issue, you’ll
DIE over the hilarious sex
confessions on p138 – like
‘He poked me in the eye with
his penis.’ Hope you enjoy
the issue!DO NOT MISS THIS
