Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies.  The Body Is Not an Apology 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. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame  we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale  we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love  which is the opportunity for a more just  equitable  and compassionate world--for us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945413898293,"sku":"ByrdShop_1626569762","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781626569768_d772e68d-4fe2-4720-ad8c-20c15f96ccf5.jpg?v=1772189781","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-body-is-not-an-apology-the-power-of-radical-selflove","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
