Jaffna Boy – Colombo Diva: A Memoir by Danu Innasithamby

Unapologetically bold. Deeply personal. Unforgettably Sri Lankan.
Jaffna Boy – Colombo Diva is not your typical coming-of-age memoir. From growing up in war-torn Jaffna to stealing the spotlight in Colombo’s media scene—in heels—Danu Innasithamby takes you on a wild, heartfelt ride through identity, tradition, drag culture, and finding your voice in a world that wants you to shrink.

If you’ve ever been told to “tone it down” or felt out of place—this book is for you. With humor, honesty, and sparkle, Danu shares stories of faith, family, queerness, loss, laughter, and rebellion.
It’s part survival guide, part love letter, and all heart.
