This book is my story about growing up in a Black girl's body.

It's about surviving in a world not made for me.

Austin Channing Brown's first encounter with a racialised America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. This was the start of a lifetime spent navigating America's racial divide as a writer, speaker and expert helping organisations practise genuine inclusion.

In a time when nearly every institution claims to value diversity in its mission statement, Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice. Her stories bear witness to the complexity of America's social fabric and invite the reader to confront apathy and discover how Blackness - if we let it - can save us all.
