The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love

In a world that treats our bodies as disposable objects, loving your body and yourself is a radical act. Sonya Renee Taylor writes about how letting go of body shame can be profoundly healing, for ourselves and our friendships, families, and communities. Fat bodies, black and brown bodies, trans bodies, queer bodies, aging bodies, disabled bodies, bodies of all shapes and sizes and hairiness, bodies that are used, feared, or criminalized—this book speaks to them all, and reminds us that the hate we've been taught to have for our bodies is another way that oppression gets literally under our skin, and does not need to define us. It's time to stop holding ourselves and each other back.
