Dear ABCDlady Readers,
When something you love gets taken away from you,
you have to find a way to deal with the occurrence and move on with
your life. This month we focus on coming to grips with what life
throws your way. First, our Health and Wellness expert tackles the
scary “D” word. Getting through a divorce is not easy—we
provide constructive advice for getting back on your feet.
After the 9-11 tragedy, Sikhs in America have faced
harassment because their turbans and beards appear to resemble those
of Osama bin Laden. (The Sikh religion prohibits men and women from
cutting their hair—thus Sikh men wear turbans and keep beards.).
In an extreme case of harassment, a Sikh gas station owner in Phoenix,
Arizona was gunned down in front of his business. Inspired by this
story, Kavi
Raz wrote, produced, directed and starred in the film, The
Gold Bracelet. Read about why he decided to pursue this fascinating
project and how his hard work has garnered critical acclaim.
Our Love
and Sex experts meet a husband dealing with his wife’s
multiple miscarriages and a woman of South Asian and Mexican descent
who is trying to figure out where she fits in.
