An unforgettable invitation to treat our lives as the sacred things they are—and a call to embrace the love, dreams, and healing that onlywecan choose for ourselves.
“A must-read for all Black women . . .Remember Me Nowis more than words on paper. It’s a journey back to ourselves.”—Toni Collier, speaker, podcast host, and author ofBrave 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?”
InRemember Me Now,Faitth grapples with the answer, charting the story of her activist grandparents and ancestors, as well as chronicling her own journey as the first-generation suburbs kid who becomes an activist and organizer herself. Part manifesto, part love letter to Black women,Remember Me Nowshows us how we learn to celebrate the fullness of ourselves—a holy, defiant, and necessary move in a world determined to silence us.
Filled with transporting stories, poems, and letters to sisters of all walks of life,Remember Me Nowis a transformational read that calls Black women to be their own activists. It’s a reminder to all that Black women matter, and our lives, voices, and stories are worth everything.
