An Evening With Sonya Renee Taylor

Sonya Renee Taylor is a world-renowned activist and thought leader on racial justice, body liberation, and transformational change. Her best-selling book, The Body Is Not an Apology, offers a radical framework for self-love and has helped many to identify and dismantle bodily-based hierarchies to build new worlds of possibility and justice. In Sonya's newest book, The Book of Radical Answers, she provides honest, empowering and age-appropriate answers to real questions from young readers about health, sex, gender, race, and justice.

Across all Sonya's work and writing is the loving belief that the foundations for building a new world and fostering our personal and collective liberation requires radical love for our bodies and the bodies of others, radical approaches to healing and justice, and radical answers to the deepest and most pressing human questions. As Sonya shares, "Using the term 'radical' elevates the reality that our society requires a drastic political, economic, and social reformation in the ways in which we deal with bodies and body difference."
