The Body Is Not An Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor
Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies.
The Body Is Not An Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world - for us all.

"Not just another rah rah you are more than you think kind of book. This is a look at self doubt & degradation with realistic ways to improve that thought process and overall mindset. I highly recommend this to (quite literally) everyone! Everyone on the planet could benefit from a little more self esteem and a little less self doubt.
READ THIS BOOK!!!" - MissBecka Gee
