Coming of Age: A Conversation on Becoming, Belonging & Being

Description:
What does it really mean to come of age?

In this intimate and deeply reflective conversation, Pri sits down with Sri Lankan-Australian writer Yasasi Malmeewala, author of Coming of Age—a powerful collection of poetry and prose that explores girlhood, grief, identity, and the quiet complexity of becoming.

From navigating dual identities and diaspora blues to redefining love, loneliness, and self-worth, Yasasi invites us into a world where writing becomes both refuge and revelation.

This episode moves between the personal and the political—touching on modern womanhood, the meaning of “home,” the tenderness of grief, and the courage it takes to be fully seen.

 A conversation for anyone who has ever felt in-between, undone, or still becoming.
