Summary "For years, Tarana Burke and Brené Brown have been working, writing, and talking about shame resilience and empathy both in the context of Tarana Burke's 'me too' movement, which seeks justice and healing for survivors of sexual assault, and through Brené Brown's extensive writing and research. Together, they bring their experience and expertise to edit a collection of essays on Black shame and healing. Burke, Brown, and their contributors create a space to recognize and process the trauma of white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the fullness of Black life and Black possibility."--Dust jacket
