About the author

Jean-Marie Bub (she/her) is an artist, author, survivor and activist living in Harlem who is dedicated to raising hell with her truth. On both paper and canvas, she puts emphasis on reclaiming one's body after experiencing abuse and sexual trauma.
Her work is aimed to legitimize women's anger, while holding space for survivors to uncover the feelings that become buried in rushed healing processes. She examines the guttural pain of womanhood, trauma, relationships and loss.

[Kristiana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bub is an artist through and through. This is undoubtedly a masterful follow up to MANEATER with both its rage and balance. Bub has made a point of ensuring her work can be used as a tool for healing and creation and PURGE is superb in doing this. This is how you motivate creatives - thoroughly impressed and I will certainly use it myself to write the things I desperately need to, for myself.

Very raw and real emotions. Definitely a source of information, inspiration and reality. This book can definitely help you feel less alone but also gives you strength and reassurance to heal yourself and become powerful.
