From a leading voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian and female that exposes how white America’s love affair with ‘diversity’ so often falls short of its ideals. Austin Channing Brown’s first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and churches, Austin writes, ‘I had to learn what it means to love Blackness’, a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America’s racial divide as a writer, speaker and expert helping organisations practice genuine inclusion.
