Krátky popis
Tarana Burke and Dr. Brene Brown bring together a dynamic group of
Black writers, organisers, artists, academics and cultural figures
to discuss the topics the two have dedicated their lives to
understanding and teaching: vulnerability and shame resilience.
Contributions by Kiese Laymon, Imani Perry, Laverne Cox, Jason
Reynolds, Austin Channing Brown, and more.It started as a text
between two friends. Tarana Burke, founder of the 'me too.'
Movement, texted researcher and writer Brene Brown to see if she
was free to jump on a call. Brene assumed that Tarana wanted to
talk about wallpaper.They had been trading home decorating
inspiration boards in their last text conversation so Brene started
scrolling to find her latest Pinterest pictures when the phone
rang. But it was immediately clear to Brene that the conversation
wasn't going to be about wallpaper. Tarana's hello was serious and
she hesitated for a bit before saying, ",Brene, you know your work
affected me so deeply, but as a Black woman, I've sometimes had to
feel like I have to contort myself to fit into some of your
words.The core of it rings so true for me, but the application has
been harder.",Brene replied, ",I'm so glad we're talking about
this. It makes sense to me. Especially in terms of
vulnerability.How do you take the armour off in a country where
you're not physically or emotionally safe?",Long pause. ",That's
why I'm calling,", said Tarana. ",What do you think about working
together on a book about the Black experience with vulnerability
and shame resilience?",There was no hesitation.Burke and Brown are
the perfect pair to usher in this stark, potent collection of
essays on Black shame and healing. Along with the anthology
contributors, they create a space to recognise and process the
trauma of white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the
fullness of Black love and Black life.
