The Library Foundation is thrilled to partner with Black Pearl Books to host bestselling author, Austin Channing Brown, for her new release, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession.
In a time of rising authoritarianism and attacks on personal freedoms, the New York Times bestselling author of I’m Still Here chronicles her efforts to live as her full self in a society that wants women — and Black women in particular — to do anything but that.
From skinny-dipping in the ocean to becoming a mom, she delves into the drama of life and invites readers to begin defining themselves not as empty vessels to improve the world, but as a people born free in spirit, in hope, in joy.
For anyone wondering what it means to live joyfully in a hostile world, Full of Myself is a breath of fresh air and an invitation to full humanity.
Ticket price includes a signed copy of Full of Myself!
