Tahina Awan is effortlessly funny and a wonderful storyteller. She honors both her Muslim Punjabi roots and her Canadian identity while making you laugh at the awkwardness of adolescence and cry at the weight of racism and trauma—yet she’s never a victim. She radiates a warmth that makes you want to hug her, mixed with irreverence, intelligence and a huge heart. It made me want to hug her... and go to her next show!
