Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I have been on a journey of antiracism and anti-oppression, so I really appreciated this book by a Nigerian-British life coach, which offers a framework for cultivating your own internal power. The framework for building your power is Presence, Ownership, Wisdom, Equality and Responsibility. Each of the book sections ends with journaling prompts, which allow you to reflect on and incorporate your learning into your own life. I was especially moved by the personal stories that Kemi shared, like the rites of passage she created for her children when they turned 12, which showed them what they were capable of enduring. Kemi also shared a beautiful letter that her (white) husband wrote her during the Black Lives Matter summer of 2020, where he owned his unearned privilege and committed to listening to and amplifying the voices of people whose power has been stolen. You will come away from this book with new ideas and ways of being in the world.
