An adaptation of the powerful New York Times bestselling account of growing up Black and female in America, completely rewritten with new stories for young readers
Austin Channing Brown's first encounter with race in America came at age seven, when she discovered that her parents had named her Austin to trick future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and churches, Channing Brown writes, "I had to learn what it means to love Blackness," a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America's racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion.
In this adaptation of her bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir, she explores how America's racial dynamics show up in the classrooms, friend groups, and conversations **** inhabit every day. "I love being a Black girl," she writes. "And sometimes being a Black girl in America is hard." Covering topics like representation, self-love, allyship, and being Black in public, Brown helps **** nourish their identity and make sense of how they fit into the world.
For students navigating a time of racial hostility, and for the adults and educators who care for them, I'm Still Here is an empowering look at the experiences of young Black ****, inviting the reader to confront apathy, find their voice, and discover how Blackness-if we let it-can save us all.
