An unforgettable invitation to treat our lives as the sacred things they are and a call to embrace the love, dreams, and healing that only we can choose for ourselves. A must-read for all Black women . . . Remember Me Now is more than words on paper. It's a journey back to ourselves. Toni Collier, speaker, podcast host, and author of Brave Enough to Be Broken When Breonna Taylor was killed, her police report was virtually blank. Feeling as if she was suffocating in the initial silence and lack of public outcry, anti-racism educator and activist Faith Brooks wondered, Would the world care about and remember me if I was killed? In Remember Me Now, Faith grapples with the answer, charting the story of her activist grandparents and ancestors, as well as chronicling her own journey as the first-generation suburbs kid who becomes an activist and organizer herself. Part manifesto, part love letter to Black women, Remember Me Now shows us how we learn to celebrate the fullness of ourselves a holy, defiant, and necessary move in a world determined to silence us. Filled with transporting stories, poems, and letters to sisters of all walks of life, Remember Me Now is a transformational read that calls Black women to be their own activists.

A must read and highly recommended!!!!!

A love letter to all black women. A must read. This book felt like sis was talking to me giving me a hug and letting me know it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. If you need help, ask. You want to do things your passionate about, do it. Be your own main character of your story. This book made me feel like I was getting advice from my older sister and she’s letting me know that I can do all things. This book was so beautiful. I cried, I laughed, I was angry and I felt heard. Thank you faitth for this book for us!

The love letter the world needs today!

This is a book for black women. It is a story of life and the joy, trauma, healing, celebration it entails. Faitth Brooks is an incredible story teller. She is a social worker, author and speaker who draws you in with her story and helps you see your own differently. This book is written for black women, yet every woman will find commonality and understanding here. Each of us will find a renewed desire for our own healing. If you love a black woman, this book is also for you. What a privilege to be invited in to learn about a black woman in America's experience from such an incredible storyteller. I found myself thinking of my own daughters and sisters and friends and wanting to send them a copy, knowing how special it is to see yourself in a book like this. Faitth has written a love letter to herself, to all black women and the One who created us all. This is a must read book for 2023. The publisher made an advanced copy available of this book, this is my honest review.
