Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Being Black in a society developed by white men to benefit white men means constantly pushing back against systems that were not constructed for your flourishing. You're made to feel that your life doesn't matter, your opinions aren't valid, and your entire existence is too loud. It can feel like the whole world is telling you to shut up. To these forces, Ally Henny is here to say, "No. I am a loud Black woman, and I won't shut up." Ally knows what it's like to navigate racism and racialized sexism. She's not taking it anymore, and she's calling you to join her in resisting racism by speaking the truth-no matter the cost. If you're tired of feeling silenced, misunderstood, and abused by society, you'll find here powerful words of liberation that will empower you to find-and use-your voice.
"Popular podcaster and speaker reveals how racism and racist power structures affect people of color, the toll that a lifetime of cultural pressures takes, and how to challenge, resist, and overcome all that holds us back from living out our God-given identity"-- Provided by publisher.
