Kaluti is a children's book that talks about colourism in Fiji and take on a journey of empowerment and self-love. Written and self-published by activist and now author Shazia Usman, Kaluti tells the story of a 10-year-old Indo-Fijian girl living in Suva, confronted with labels based on the colour of her skin and questioning what makes her enough. 'All of a sudden she hears overhears this conversation from the window and it's her Aunt, Rania's Mum and she's talking about Zia and she's using the word Kaluti so Zia coming from a very progressive family has never heard that word before, but the words in which the Aunt describes her and sort of the tone, she figures out that it's not a really nice word.'
