New York Times-bestselling author adrienne maree brown knows we need each other more than ever, and offers a practice for holding collective power, righting wrongs, and generating true belonging.
Ethical, pondering, and wondrous, adrienne maree brown’s LOVING CORRECTIONSis a collection of love-based adjustments and reframes to grow our movements for liberation while navigating a society deeply fractured by greed, racism, and war. In this landmark book, brown invigorates her influential writing on belonging and accountability into the framework of “loving corrections”; a generative space where rehearsals for the revolution become the everyday norm in relating to one another.
Filled with practical wisdom on how to be a trustworthy communicator while providing bold visions for a shared future, LOVING CORRECTIONScan speak to everyone caught in the crossroads of our political challenges and potential. No matter how new to the struggle, or how numerous our failures, brown’s indispensable writing is an invitation to us all. Includes an afterword by Janine de Novais.
"The world becomes more soft, more creative, more loving, and more evolved every time adrienne maree brown decides to put pen to paper, and in LOVING CORRECTIONS we have some of her best and most beautiful, thoughtful, and moving writing helping us to really delve deeply into what 'right relationship' means for ourselves in any given moment or circumstance. It is a gorgeous gift of thinking and writing but also a meditative thought partner to help readers begin to craft their own loving corrections in various parts of our lives." —Tarana Burke, author of “Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement”
