The Body is Not a Barrier. The Power of Radical Self-Love

The Body is Not a Barrier. The Power of Radical Self-Love Sonia Renee Taylor People represent a diverse group with differences in beliefs, morals, and attitudes towards the body. Systems of oppression thrive in the world due to our inability to reconcile differences and harm our relationships with ourselves. This book presents radical self-love as a balm for healing the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonia Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the roots of our mind and body and gain collective strength and confidence. By overcoming imposed body shame, we feel inspired to help others and dismantle the systems that perpetuate the oppression of all bodies. Acting on this truth on a global scale, we open up the transformative possibility of radical self-love, which is a chance to build a more just, equitable, and compassionate world—for all of us. “To create a world that works for everyone, we must first make the radical decision to love every facet of ourselves… This book is a mantra that we all must practice”.
