“we have to be brave and take the first step, we have to say no to the choices which no longer serve us...be mindful that we have to get out of our own way to live as whole and complete as we are"
Devina Kaur is a fun-loving, flamboyant, straight-talking author, entrepreneur, filmmaker and inspirational speaker. Born and raised in rural India, she fought to reconcile her traditional upbringing with her ambitions. After a lifetime of being told she was too fat, too loud and too ambitious, her world fell apart in her 30s when her arranged marriage ended. Thirty years of desperately trying to be the person everyone else wanted had resulted in loneliness, depression and confusion. While looking for purpose and meaning, Devina embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her to start the Sexy Brilliant Global Revolution.
Too Fat, Too Loud, Too Ambitious is Devina’s first book, and possibly the world’s first ever X-rated self-help book with an expected date of release early 2019. In TFTLTA, she shares her self-discovery, spiritual and sexual awakenings along with life empowerment in a candid, soul-searching way. Devina, although gifted with expression, is also ADD and writing a book did not come naturally to her. She is best described as an accidental author. Devina is a full time single mother and lives with her family in Canada.
