""To build a world that works for everyone, we must first make the radical decision to love every facet of ourselves. . . . 'The body is not an apology' is the mantra we should all embrace." -Kimberlé Crenshaw, legal scholar and founder and Executive Director, African American Policy Forum"-- Provided by publisher.

This is what I’ve needed to hear all my life
submitted by gmarievincen on June 13, 2022, 4:36pm
This book reminds us that we deserve to feel at home in our bodies, to dispel incessant and arbitrary judgement and shame from social pressures, media representation and marketing, and the self-destructive narrative and biases we’ve adapted over generations.
Taylor provides thorough and inclusive reflections on the many ways that body-shaming in its varying manifestations harms us all. This book is for any human, challenging us to empower radical kindness and acceptance for others and ourselves.
Powerful and Honest submitted by suttonp on June 27, 2022, 12:55pm This was a powerful and painful read. I recognized myself in her writing over and over. Brave, honest and beautiful reading.
