The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love

Product Description

Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies.The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world--for us all.

We make every effort to make sure all products on our website are in stock. However, we can't carry every item in our store, so we do drop ship some items.

We will offer you a complete refund or give you the option of a product of equal or greater value. It is up to you.

Our return policy is simple. We don't accept them in most cases. Given the nature of the products, we don't think you would shop with us if we allowed returns.
