I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness

This book is my story about growing up
in a Black girl's body.
My story is about choosing to love my Black
femaleness, even when it shocks folks who
expected someone quite different.
It's about surviving in a world not made for me.
I offer this story in hopes that we will embody
a community eager to name whiteness, celebrate
Blackness, and, in a world still governed by
systems of racial oppression, begin to see
that there's another way.

change the world by telling the truth about her life

'Most people say, "that books has legs";
I measure the impact of a book by how often
I throw it across the room. [Austin's book]
has serious wings. It broke me open'
