"It's hard to be calm in a world made for whiteness." One of the best memoirs I've read. While short, Brown details her story starting with an exploration of the consequences of having a white man's name. She describes the realities of being Black, specifically a Black woman, in the professional world, and the anger that grows from watching your community be incarcerated, sexualized, and lynched. If you're committed to racial justice and care about the voices of those otherwise silenced, read Austin Channing Brown.
