You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience

This groundbreaking book brings together a dynamic group of Black writers, organizers, artists, academics, and cultural figures to explore the intersections of vulnerability and shame resilience in the Black experience.

With contributions from Kiese Laymon, Imani Perry, Laverne Cox, Jason Reynolds, Austin Channing Brown, and more, this collection provides a powerful and necessary examination of the topics that have dedicated the lives of Tarana Burke and Dr.

Brené Brown to understanding and teaching.

Through their shared experiences and perspectives, these writers offer a unique and profound exploration of the ways in which vulnerability and shame resilience intersect with race, gender, sexuality, and other forms of identity.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Black experience and the importance of empathy, compassion, and healing in our society.
