We are tired. Tired of protesting. Tired of 'saving democracy.' Tired of educating and explaining.\" She began to ask, \"What do I deserve, not just as a citizen but as a human?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFull of Myself\u003c\/i\u003e answers that question. Weaving personal narrative with perceptive social commentary, Brown offers a look at the mechanisms that limit who Black women are allowed to be--at work, at home, in community--and the defining moments when she decided that self-possession is the justice work she had been made to undervalue. From skinny-dipping in the ocean to becoming a mom, she delves into the drama of life and invites readers to begin defining themselves not as empty vessels to improve the world, but as a people born free in spirit, in hope, in joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Black women seeking to understand the true roots of their burnout, or for anyone wondering what it means to live joyfully in a hostile world, \u003ci\u003eFull of Myself\u003c\/i\u003e is a breath of fresh air and an invitation to full humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Channing Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217169931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Austin Channing Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767084765439,"sku":"9798217169931","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffe9bbef-b632-414f-9678-244d94f1e329.jpg?v=1744168822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/full-of-myself-austin-channing-brown-9798217169931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
