What a stunning debut from a seasoned racial justice leader.

I trust Austin, I listen to Austin and I learn from Austin. I hope you will too. Christena Cleveland, professor at Duke University and author of Disunity in Christ Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a master memoirist, delivering a manifesto on racism in America that will live on shelves besides Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michelle Alexander. This book will break open hearts and minds. It s an example of how one woman can change the world by telling the truth about her life with unflinching, relentless courage. Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior, and president of Together Rising I have laughed, I have held back tears, I have reflected with joy, hope, and hurt while reading. Austin captures perfectly the sentiment of many black people in America. She s not only telling her story, she s telling our story. Austin is a gift to the body and the culture. Lecrae, Grammy award-winning artist and bestselling author of Unashamed Austin is one of my most important teachers. I m Still Here is devastating, beautiful, and haunting and it leaves no room for a tepid reaction. Her crystal clear voice will move you, push you, and break your heart.
