About the Book and the Workbook

Now a New York Times Bestseller! 

The Body Is Not an Apology, 2nd Edition and accompanying workbook Your Body Is Not An Apology set the stage for what radical-self love is and how we can harness its healing nature to change ourselves, and then the world. Together, these two works make the personal political in an actionable and dedicated way—for us to build the world we want to live in, we must cultivate it within ourselves. In her thoughtful and pragmatic tone, Sonya Renee Taylor shows you how to scale the personal work of liberation to impact systems-change.

Author and change maker Sonya Renee Taylor dedicated her life to awakening herself and others to the possibility of a world guided by love. Radical self-love is a vehicle for social change, and with this toolkit you have everything you need to build a better world rooted in love, justice, and accountability.
