Book excerpt: When I say growing up a black plus -sized woman is a FULL-TIME JOB, whew chile, please believe me. Living in a world that idolizes our curves but discredits our voice is no longer valid. Yet, we are constantly on the battlefield against society expectations, social media, our careers, validation from our family/peers and even ourselves. We all don't have this "LIFE THING" figured out, and that's OK. Throughout this poetic journey, we will reflect through eleven vulnerable, unfiltered, and authentic experiences about a few past and current AUDACITIES young black women like me face when it comes to: facing our insecurities accepting all versions of our body image addressing people pleasing releasing toxic mindsets also realizing why some men won't RESPECTFULLY keep the same energy! So let's get real with ourselves and start this conversation that is long overdue. This journey is currently mine, but now it's meant for you. It's time to GRANT YOURSELF GRACE & finally STEP LOUD AF into your truth.
