Austin Channing Brown's first encounter with racism in America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and neighbourhoods, Austin 'had to learn what it means to love Blackness', a journey that led to her becoming a writer, speaker and expert helping organisations practice genuine inclusion. In this bestselling memoir, she writes beautifully and powerfully about her journey to self-worth and how we can all contribute to racial justice.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"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 unflinching, relentless courage." (Glennon Doyle)

"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." (Brene Brown)

"A leading new voice on racial justice" (Layla Saad, author of Me and White Supremacy)

Great listen. Whenever you want to understand anything it's always best to go to researched unbiased work. This might be deemed biased because of the author but her research can be validated. It really helped me to take stock of things I didn't feel comfortable looking at for many reasons...

Thank you Austin for writing this book. It was a privilege to read the story of your life. I'm working hard to try and be better and do more in my anti-racism work and this book has been an important part of my ongoing journey.

This is essential reading for white people.

This story has a beautiful mix of struggles, race issues, and Christianity. Although this book is very grounded in Mrs. Brown's life experience, some of her experiences can be applied to others who are not of African descent. Which is great and amazing how even within her book she still tried to mention other minorities, like the Inidian woman example. It was so interesting how she kept coming back to God and the struggles of Jesus because it wasn't what I expected and loved it. I remember being a young teen and hearing about young African American students who went on a try to a plantation, hopeing to hear of the life of African enslaved peoples. But instead ended up picking cotton, young black kids picking cotton is disgusting. I loved hearing Mrs. Brown's voice throughout this because it make everything seem so much more human than if I read it on a page. I loved this 10/10, will purchase a hard copy for myself.
