Description
"For Black British Womyn claiming our space on these islands, knowing that 'we are here because you were there', this book is a breathing archive, a speaking monument and a living memorial." - MARAI LARASI
This is Us captures a lifetime of lived experiences from Black British women, retelling their stories of challenges and hardships, triumphs and strengths.
Collected by Kafayat Okanlawon from strangers, acquaintances, friends and family, the book ties together the lives of women across generations, providing a necessary contribution to the current literature on Black British women, and a version of British history from which Black women have long been excluded.
With a foreword from Marai Larasi who has dedicated her life to ending violence against women, the book marks the 20th Anniversary of Imkaan, and 10 per cent of profits will be donated to the organisation.
