The Body Is Not an Apology is a gift, a blessing, a prayer, a reminder, a sacred text. This book cracked me open in ways that I’m so grateful for. I know it will do the same for you.

The Body Is Not an Apology is essential reading for those of us who crave understanding and those who are already on the path to learning how beautiful and complex our bodies are.

I love Colorlines and have always appreciated their work and was super honored that they named me one of their 20x20. Nothing brings me greater joy than when we understand the connection between radical self love and radical justice for people of color. THE ILLUSTRATION IS DOPE AF!

As we celebrate 20 years of shifting the narrative around racial justice, we are excited to announce the inaugural #Colorlines20x20. These 20 transformative leaders are reimagining what it means to advance justice and liberation for people of color in the spirit of the @colorlinesnews mission. http://bit.ly/2PKFUvJ

Repost from @representationmatters.me - “It is through our own transformed relationship with our bodies that we become champions for other bodies on our planet. As we awaken to our indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. There is a whisper we keep hearing; it is saying we must build in us what we want to see built in the world. When we act from this truth on a global scale, using the lens of the body, we usher in the transformative opportunity of racial self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world for us all.” » Sonya Renee Taylor @sonyareneetaylor ⠀
