'An example of how one woman can change the world by telling the truth about her life with unflinching, relentless courage' GLENNON DOYLE

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.

'A leading new voice on racial justice' LAYLA F SAAD, author of ME AND WHITE SUPREMACY

'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 deeply personal celebration of blackness that simultaneously sheds new light on racial injustice and inequality while offering hope for a better future' SHONDALAND

Critics Review

  • Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a master memoirist. This book will break open hearts and minds

    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

  • Powerful . . . Brown calls on readers to live their professed ideals rather than simply state them

    Publishers Weekly

  • Takes readers on a journey through the racial divide in a way we’ve truly never seen before. Powerful, haunting, and absolutely impossible to put down, [Brown’s] account of what it’s like to grow up black, middle-class, and female in modern America is not to be missed

    PopSugar

  • A deeply personal celebration of blackness that simultaneously sheds new light on racial injustice and inequality while offering hope for a better future

    Shondaland

  • I have laughed, I have held back tears, I have reflected with joy, hope and hurt while reading. Austin captures perfectly the sentiment of many black people in America. She’s not only telling her story, she’s telling our story. Austin is a gift to the body and the culture
