The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor

5.0

I'm not really a self help person, but this book feels like so much more than a simple self help text. the focus on how bodies are impacted by oppressive systems and the practical steps for cultivating radical self love made this feel more real, practical, and applicable to everyday life. it made me challenge some things about myself and how I view how I move through the world - and how I have a lot I need to unpack to truly love myself and others. it absolutely shines through that Taylor is a poet and a whiz with metaphors - the book is always entertaining and never dry! an excellent book to start off 2021 with.
