<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Based on the<i> New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i>, this is an action guide to help readers practice the art of radical self-love both for themselves and to transform our society.</b><br> </b> <p/>Readers of <i>The Body Is Not an Apology </i>have been clamoring for guidance on how to do the work of radical self-love. After crowdsourcing her community, Sonya Renee Taylor found her readers wanted more concrete ideas on how to apply this work in their everyday lives. <i>Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook</i> is the action guide that gives them tools and structured frameworks they can begin using immediately to deepen their radical self-love journey--such as Taylor's four pillars of practice, which help readers dismantle body shame and give them access to a lifestyle rooted in love. Taylor guides readers to move beyond theory and into <i>doing</i> and<i> being</i> radical self-love change agents in the world. <p/>In this book, you will be asked to draw, color, doodle, talk to friends, take risks, and perhaps step outside of what feels like your natural gifts and talents, Taylor writes. I encourage you to release the need to be 'good' at what you are doing and instead strive to be authentic. Perfection is the enemy of radical self-love because it is an impossible illusion. When the voice of perfectionism chimes in, take a deep breath, remember that the work is about the process, not about the product, and give yourself permission to be fabulously unapologetically imperfect.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book took my breath away. It's an unexpected and urgent embrace of truth."<b> <br>--Brené Brown, Ph.D., author of the <i>New York Times</i> #1 bestseller, <i>Dare to Lead </i></b> <p/>"Poet and activist Taylor (<i>A Little Truth on Your Shirt</i>) packs important ideas into this concise volume on body empowerment. "Radical self-love is not a destination you are trying to get to; it is who you already are," she counsels...The author's sensible and empathetic tone will lend comfort to readers and help them to see that no matter what their body type, they are beautiful."<br><b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/>"<i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i> wrestles you free from the habit of your shame and declares you whole, right now, just as you are. To follow its revelations and teachings leaves you different on the other side and undoubtedly more yourself."<br><b>--Prentis Hemphill, founder and Director, The Black Embodiment Initiative</b> <p/>"From the moment I met Sonya Renee, I knew my life, my world, and the way I view myself and others around me would never be the same. <i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i> is essential reading for those of us who crave understanding and those who are already on the path to learning how beautiful and complex our bodies are. It will empower you with the tools to navigate a world that is often unkind to those of us who whether by choice or design don't adhere to society's standard of beauty. Her words will echo in your heart, soul, and body just as they have in mine."<br><b>--Tess Holliday, plus model, author, and founder of Eff Your Beauty Standards</b> <p/>"<i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i> is a gift, a blessing, a prayer, a reminder, a sacred text. In it, Taylor invites us to live in a world where different bodies are seen, affirmed, celebrated, and just. Taylor invites us to break up with shame, to deepen our literacy, and to liberate our practice of celebrating every body and never apologizing for this body that is mine and takes care of me so well. This book cracked me open in ways that I'm so grateful for. I know it will do the same for you." <br><b>--Alicia Garza, cocreator of the Black Lives Matter Global Network and Strategy + Partnerships Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance</b> <p/>"<i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i> is a radical, merciful, transformational book that will give you deep insights, inspiration, and concrete tools for launching the revolution right inside your own beloved body. Written from deep experience, with a force of catalytic energy and so much love."<br><b>--Eve Ensler, author of <i>The Vagina Monologues</i> and <i>In the Body of the World</i></b> <p/>"In 2017, #thefirsttimeisawmyself was a trending hashtag and Netflix campaign. As a disabled woman, #thefirsttimeireadmyself may well have been this book. Thank you, Sonya. Bought two copies, one for me and one for my daughter."<br><b>--Rebecca Cokely, Senior Fellow for Disability Policy, Center for American Progress, disability rights activist, and mom </b> <p/>"Sonya Renee Taylor is a treasure that this world simply does not deserve. <i>The Body Is Not an Apology</i> is the gift of radical love the world needs! We are all better off because of her presence, talent, compassion, and authentic work. Thank you, Sonya, for all that you do."<br><b>--Jes Baker, aka The Militant Baker, author of <i>Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls</i></b> <p/>"In these times, when the search for answers to the mounting injustices in our world seems to confound us, Sonya Renee Taylor offers a simple but powerful place to begin: recovering our relationship with our own bodies.
