Tarana Burke and Brené Brown edit this collection from Black writers about shame and vulnerability and resiliency-all with stories about what it means to be vulnerable as a Black person in a world built and run by white supremacy. What does that looks like?

I read this and it made me remember, again, (a sign of incredible privilege I have to remember rather than knowing) how so often the conversation around resiliency and shame doesn’t touch on all the aspects, and how the world we live in, a world built and maintained by white supremacist systems affects everything-how we have these conversations and what voices and experiences we listen to-matters.
