Dr. Shenita Etwaroo is not the sort of person who can stand by and let injustice thrive in a world meant to be so beautiful. That’s why she’s written her newest non-fiction manuscript, COME TOGETHER. Now, more than ever, we live in deeply divided times, in a deeply divided country. The political and social issues have all of us turning against each other, and embolden those who would cast stones at their brothers and sisters for committing the ‘crime’ of being an immigrant, being a Jew, being disabled, being of a darker persuasion. COME TOGETHER seeks to shed light on these injustices that surround us, and that many of us may yet be too blind to see. Chronicling her own life and the life of her strong mother, Shenita tells the stories of the abuses she and her mother suffered. These abuses are all too common, and they violate not only the individual, not just the collective, but human rights as a concept. At its core, COME TOGETHER is a narrative and a journey to bring light into the world. Every human being, regardless of race or creed or any other factor, deserves to be treated with autonomy, respect, to have their basic needs met, to live freely and without violation. By coming together to dissect our issues and learn how to face each day as a humanist, we make the world, bit by bit, a better place. We turn our faces to the light and shun the dark, and, in doing so, we inherently raise the hands of our brothers and sisters, shield them from evil.
