You Are Your Best Thing
edited by Tarana Burke & Brene Brown
What begins as a text between Tarana Burke and Dr. Brené Brown leads to the two of them teaming up to bring together a dynamic group of Black writers, organizers, artists, academics, and cultural figures to discuss the topics the two have dedicated their lives to understanding and teaching: vulnerability and shame resilience. Burke and Brown are the perfect pair to curate this potent collection of essays on Black shame and healing. Along with the anthology contributors, they create a space to recognize and process the trauma of white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the fullness of Black love and Black life.
