Brown, Female, Doctor: A Memoir, author Sarah Arachchi
Brown, Female, Doctor: A Memoir, author Sarah Arachchi
What if, when I spoke, you heard my thick Australian accent? Would you wonder how I got here? What if you saw the colour of my skin would you ask me where I am from?
Sarah is a brown female doctor who emigrated to Australia in the 1990s. Her journey to becoming a paediatrician has been challenging, right from the schoolyard.
As a minority, she was perceived as different. She tried hard to blend in, but she was unfamiliar to her peers. No brown heroines in the fairytales she was exposed to left her with few role models. As an adult, a graduate in the medical world, she experienced a new kind of obstacle: being female in a male-driven hospital environment.
When she eventually walked across the stage to get her paediatric letters, with a drip in her arm, a pregnant belly, a toddler on her hip and heels that could shatter a glass ceiling, victory was bittersweet.
In the spirit of Dr Neela Janakiramanan's The Registrar, Sarah Malik's Desi Girl and Anita Rani's The Right Sort of Girl, this is a story of grit and determination, hope and self-discovery. It is a powerful call for social change and a greater acceptance of diversity.
