A REESE'S BOOK CLUB X HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK PICK * THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From a leading voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up as a Black woman in America.
This book is my story about growing up
in a Black girl's body.
My story is about choosing to love my Black
femaleness, even when it shocks folks who
expected someone quite different.
It's about surviving in a world not made for me.
I offer this story in hopes that we will embody
a community eager to name whiteness, celebrate
Blackness, and, in a world still governed by
systems of racial oppression, begin to see
that there's another way.
'Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a
master memoirist. This book will break open hearts
and minds. It's an example of how one woman can
change the world by telling the truth about her life
with unfl inching, relentless courage'
GLENNON DOYLE,
bestselling author of Untamed
'Most people say, "that books has legs";
I measure the impact of a book by how often
I throw it across the room. [Austin's book]
has serious wings. It broke me open'
BRENÉ BROWN
