'I laughed, shed tears and felt those goosebumps when you know your soul is being spoken to and nourished.'
Chelsea Watego

'If you've ever dimmed your light, hated how you look or searched for your beauty in all the wrong places, this book is for you.'

Gigorou (jig-goo-roo) means 'beauty' or 'beautiful' in Jirrbal, the language of Sasha Kutabah Sarago's grandmother. Growing up, Sasha didn't feel gigorou. At a young age, she was told, 'You're too pretty to be Aboriginal'. Since then, she's been on a journey to reconcile her conflict with beauty.

In this intimately fierce, funny and reflective book, Sasha retraces her footsteps as a beauty assistant, model and magazine editor to find the answers she's searching for. Through conversations with her matriarchs, and the creation stories gifted to her, Sasha unlocks an ancestral wisdom - the key to healing and reclaiming her femininity.

In a time where the patriarchy obstructs women from the divine feminine, and sexism, racism and ageism violate our sovereignty, Gigorou invites us to explore the interconnectedness of Aboriginal culture to resolve our relationship with beauty and ourselves.

'Searingly funny and fiercely feminist.'
Jane Caro

'A book that breathes wisdom.' Paul Callaghan

'An important and beautiful story told with tremendous heart.'
Mia Freedman


'Sasha writes with purpose and power. You'll wish your younger self read this book, and you'll thank Sasha for writing it. Gigorou is a gift.'
Alley Pascoe

'Packed with grace, nostalgia and so much style ... a blueprint for how to step gloriously into your rightful space.'
Justine Cullen
