Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Anunforgettable invitation to treat our lives as the sacred things they are-and a call to embrace the love, dreams, and healing that only we can choose for ourselves.

"A must-read for all Black women . . . Remember Me Now is more than words on paper. It's a journey back to ourselves."-Toni Collier, speaker, podcast host, and author of Brave Enough to Be Broken

When Breonna Taylor was killed, her police report was virtually blank. Feeling as if she was suffocating in the initial silence and lack of public outcry, anti-racism educator and activist Faitth Brooks wondered, "Would the world care about and remember me if I was killed?"

In Remember Me Now, Faitthgrapples with the answer,charting the story of her activist grandparents and ancestors, as well aschronicling herown journey as thefirst-generation suburbs kidwho becomes an activist and organizer herself. Part manifesto, part love letter to Black women, Remember Me Now shows us how we learn to celebrate the fullness of ourselves-a holy, defiant, and necessary move in a worlddetermined to silence us.

Filled with transporting stories, poems, and letters to sisters of all walks of life, Remember Me Now is a transformational read that calls Black women to be their own activists. It's a reminder to all that Black women matter, and ourlives, voices, and stories are worth everything.

Includes bibliographical references.
