In this episode, Inni Kaur, author of the 'Journey With The Gurus' children's book series speaks about her inspiration to write, and what she hopes to achieve with her work.

Inni currently serves as the Creative Director at the Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI) but has embodied a rich array of roles in the organization since 2010, including having served as the Chair of the Board and, more recently, as the CEO.

Her literary contributions include her children’s book series, Journey with the Gurus, which draws inspiration from the life and teachings of Guru Nanak Sahib. Her published works include Sakhi-Time with Nani ji, Thank-You Vahiguru, Daddy’s Turban, The Story of Us, and The Fragrance of Bhai Vir Singh.

In creating 'Journey With The Gurus' Inni has done an amazing job in narrating events from Sikh history in a way that is relatable and engaging for children aged 7+ and this series would make for the perfect gift to ensure the next generation continues to connect with and be inspired by the stories of Guru Nanak Sahib.

In this episode of the Khalis Podcast, Ghuntas Kaur speaks about her brand new poetry book - 'History of the Lion Family'.

The book is a poetry collection reflecting on Sikh and Punjabi experiences of discrimination spanning from the 1984 Sikh genocide to modern day Canada.

Within the Sikh community, there is a stigma against speaking about the 1984 genocide and the trauma our people suffered. This is a result of decades of government propaganda that taught Sikhs to stay silent in fear of being jailed - or worse, killed.

With the generations that lived through it growing older, it’s important that we document our history. More importantly, we need to document our emotions in regards to our experiences. These emotions are best captured in poem format. The poems serve to convey the collective Sikh and Punjabi journey.
