Original title: "Il volo. La mia vita: ieri uomo, oggi donna. Storia di metamorfosi e di lotta" (The flight. My life: yesterday man, today woman. History of metamorphosis and struggle) by Sandra 'Jovanka' Alvino.
Sandra is the story of a flight, of a female soul imprisoned in the wrong body, a screamed, shouted, demanding presence that takes your breath away, that does not allow for discounts, compromises, half measures… A story that overflows everywhere for too much abundance of life, for too many open wounds, for abuses and abuses suffered too many times.
We hope that by reading these pages so true and poignant, the liberating force that this flight of Sandra has is recovered, and that everyone learns to turn their eyes towards the many Sandras who inhabit and walk our streets and our neighborhoods and that they can re-emerge the need to restore dignity and name to these lives torn apart by the violence of our silences, our indifference, our presumptuous truths.
