520    "It started as a text between two friends. Tarana Burke, 
       founder of the 'me too' movement, texted researcher and 
       writer, Brené Brown, to see if she was free to jump on a 
       call. Brené assumed that Tarana wanted to talk about 
       wallpaper. They had been trading home decorating 
       inspiration boards in their last text conversation so 
       Brené started scrolling to find her latest Pinterest 
       pictures when the phone rang. But it was immediately clear
       to Brené that the conversation wasn't going to be about 
       wallpaper. Tarana's hello was serious and she hesitated 
       for a bit before saying, "Brené, you know your work 
       affected me so deeply. It's been a huge gift in my life. 
       But as a Black woman, I've sometimes had to feel like I 
       have to contort myself to fit into some of your words. The
       core of it rings so true for me, but the application has 
       been harder." Brené replied, "I'm so glad we're talking 
       about this. It makes sense to me. Especially in terms of 
       vulnerability. How do you take the armor off in a country 
       where you're not physically or emotionally safe?" Long 
       pause. "That's why I'm calling," said Tarana. "What do you
       think about a working together on a book about the Black 
       experience with vulnerability and shame resilience?" There
       was no hesitation. Burke and Brown are the perfect pair to
       usher in this stark, potent collection of essays on Black 
       shame and healing (and contribute their own introductions 
       to the work). Along with the anthology contributors, they 
       create a space to recognize and process the trauma of 
       white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the 
       fullness of Black love and Black life"--|cProvided by

520    This stark, potent collection of essays on Black shame and
       healing present a space to be vulnerable and affirm the 
       fullness of Black love and Black life. They allow readers 
       to recognize and process the trauma of sexual assault, and
       white supremacy and sexual assault, in order to work 
       toward healing. Through lived experiences, we can work to 
       dismantle oppressive systems-- of all types-- in this 
       country. -- adapted from jacket and Introduction.
