“Fights Like a Girl! is a reflection of everything Sajeela Kershi has fought for and against.<\/em><\/p>\n

The show was born at the Women’s March in London, chanting against Trump, travel bans and global injustices, with Sajeela fighting to keep her prime position on the frontline – even if that means elbowing Harriet Harman out of the way, and not allowing a man to push in at the front, who, it turns out is Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sajeela looks at her own upbringing, telling true stories of fitting in, fighting bullies, fighting for a life on her terms. She looks at universal misogyny in culture, including a true story of how she and a group of women in her family were kept hostage but managed to fight of their extremist captors – a tale of unexpected hilarity!<\/em><\/p>\n

‘What and who will we fight for…and why?’ Join Sajeela as she puts up her dukes and picks her battles. Find out if you are a fight or flight by nature, why you are to Blame for Brexit and Trump and if you are ultimately failing to fight for a productive society…whilst in hysterics.”<\/em><\/p>\n
