A GLOBAL MOVEMENT GUIDED BY LOVE Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive on our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. This New York Times best seller offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. This second edition includes stories from Taylor's travels around the world combating body terrorism and shines a light on the path toward liberation guided by love.
