Rising from the Rooftop - Book Launch

About the Book

Danyal's book is an intimate reflection of his experiences: navigating displacement in Australia, discovering 'home' is subjective and transforming pain into purpose. With humour and vulnerability, he shares his story of overcoming adversity, conformity and finding meaning.

If you've been dreaming of getting more out of life, lifting yourself up and in turn lifting others up then this is the book for you. Its packed with real-life examples of inspirational people that have learnt things the hard way. Plus its written by Danyal Diallo so you already know it contains a strong amount of sass.
