New York Times bestselling author Austin Channing Brown’s new book Full of Myself inspires conversations on identity, justice, and joy 

In a moment when personal freedoms are increasingly under threat, AUSTIN CHANNING BROWN, New York Times bestselling author and leading antiracism educator, returns with a deeply honest and fiercely empowering new work. In Full of Myself, Brown chronicles her journey toward self-possession and joy in a society that continually demands Black women sacrifice both. 

Through candid storytelling and sharp social insight, Brown confronts the exhaustion of fighting for justice and asks a vital question: What do I deserve as a citizen and as a human? Her reflections reveal how Black women are often limited in their roles at work, at home, and in community as well as how reclaiming joy and full humanity is itself a powerful act of resistance.
