Book cover for The Power
It is only that every day one grows a little, every day something is different, so that in the heaping up of days suddenly a thing that was impossible has become possible. This is how a girl becomes a grown woman.

“Trying to drop into my body to figure out what I want to do next, as opposed to what I think the white people around me are expecting I might do. “Double consciousness,” as W.E.B. Du Bois called it, is a beast.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“I imagine they found me to be quite mean. And I love that for myself.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“One person sleeps and another person marches. One person watches the kids and another person cooks. One person hosts the meeting and another person eats. One person posts bail and another person holds the family. We don’t just march together, fight together, write together, meet together. We also look out for one another and our physical needs.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“Witnessing isn’t passive. It is an act of meeting the moment, of being present to the pain, of knowing it could be any one of us next.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“Racism is mean, is malevolent. And I intended to match its energy. I chose a publishing house that had no problems when I wrote “White people can be exhausting” as my opening sentence. I wrote the book I needed.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession
