She fondly recalls some aspects of her own journey as a newcomer, especially seeing snow for the first time.
Shukla said the book is uplifting and enlightening, focusing on the “pride and joy” of becoming Canadian. “The challenges I faced, overcoming stigmas and biases, but also the side of Canada that I see that is multicultural, that values democracy and the freedoms that we get to enjoy. That I think is a huge privilege,” she said.
“I just feel so lucky to be a part of this beautiful country. It’s really a ‘falling in love with Canada’ story.”
