520 "A renowned doula and co-founder of Moms in Color shares
powerful lessons on healing and thriving through the murky
seasons of life in this moving, intimate guide to self-
care, identity, mental health, and radical joy. Safe
spaces, communion, knowing that we are loved-these are the
things we long for. Brandi Sellerz-Jackson found them when
she started exploring her encounters with loss and trauma
as a way to confront her own grief, and she ended up
creating a community for others to unleash their fears and
heartaches. Now Brandi shares everything she's learned
about the tools we already possess to not just survive but
thrive. Comparing our thriving to plant life, she
simplifies the complicated-and oftentimes overwhelming-
journey as we attempt to grow in an inhospitable
environment. Drawing from her experiences as a doula and
intimate storytelling from her own life, Brandi guides us
through the many phases of life's great labors:
relationships, being other(ed), grief and loss, and mental
health. In each, we delicately unpack traumas large and
small. Brandi doesn't shy away from the pitfalls of these
labors, but rather challenges us to actively remain
present within them and ask ourselves: What do I need to
thrive in the space I'm currently in? In relationships, we
explore the meaning of intimacy, release ego, encourage
autonomy, and learn to champion our highest joy. In mental
health, we traverse the deep navigation of trauma so that
we can raise a generation that is free of it. In otherness,
we learn to reclaim space when marginalized and see rest
as resistance. In grief, we cultivate the deep soil of
sadness and allow it to act as a nutrient for our growth.
With insightful and vulnerable storytelling, Brandi
assures us that in trusting our path and foraging our way
through emotions we've long suppressed, we can gather all
that we need to thrive right where we are, right now"--
