Weaving personal narrative with perceptive social commentary, Brown offers a look at the mechanisms that limit who Black women are allowed to be--at work, at home, in community--and the defining moments when she decided that self-possession is the justice work she had been made to undervalue. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Black women seeking to understand the true roots of their burnout, or for anyone wondering what it means to live joyfully in a hostile world, \u003ci\u003eFull of Myself\u003c\/i\u003e is a breath of fresh air and an invitation to full humanity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAustin Channing Brown\u003c\/b\u003e is an author and speaker providing inspired leadership on racial justice in America.
