episode 141: Sonya Renee Taylor on "The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love"
On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Sonya Renee Taylor, activist, poet, and author of the NYT bestselling book, The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love. We speak with Sonya today about her book, her philosophy of radical self-love, and she shares specific tools, actions, and resources for confronting some of our most challenging systems of oppression.
During our conversation, Sonya and I referenced the following resources:
- Sonya's Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook: Tools for Living Radical
- How we use this concept of "radical self-love" to transform how we feel in our own bodies, how we feel about ourselves, based on the messages we receive from the world
- bell hooks' work on self-love such as Communion: The Female Search for Love
