New York Times bestselling author Austin Channing Brown takes the stage to present her latest, “Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession.” She’ll be joined in conversation by Godmothers co-founder Jennifer Rudolph Walsh.
As an antiracism educator and writer leading through America’s cycles of racial unrest, Austin had reached a crossroads. “I love my work,” she writes, “and I am tired. We are tired. Tired of protesting. Tired of ‘saving democracy.’ Tired of educating and explaining.” She began to ask, “What do I deserve, not just as a citizen but as a human?”
“Full of Myself” answers that question. Weaving personal narrative with perceptive social commentary, Brown offers a look at the mechanisms that limit who Black women are allowed to be—at work, at home, in community—and the defining moments when she decided that self-possession is the justice work she had been made to undervalue.
From skinny-dipping in the ocean to becoming a mom, she delves into the drama of life and invites readers to begin defining themselves not as empty vessels to improve the world, but as a people born free in spirit, in hope, in joy.
