First of Her Kind by Kbora Ali

First of Her Kind tells Kbora Ali’s remarkable life story, from fleeing Afghanistan with her family and arriving in Australia at age nine to becoming the first woman of Afghan descent to join the Australian Army at 18. She later transferred to the Australian Air Force, became a UNICEF Australia Young Ambassador, and received recognition for her service and achievements. The memoir explores her experiences as an immigrant, her family’s sacrifices, cultural identity, determination, military career, and journey toward building a successful life in Australia.
