Dr Judith I Perera

Judith Perera was born in a tropical land of stories during state-imposed curfew in a troublesome summer when it was first boldly asked whether 'history had ended.' After earning doctorate degrees in law and in history, she was no longer amused by the bright city lights because she had learned that dreams cannot be sold to those who never sleep. A spirit quest and a painting during a random right in the desert led her back to the homeland. In Colombo, she finds joy in striving to live up to her legacy as a third-generation teacher.
