As a minority in a predominantly white institution, taking up space is an act of resistance. Recent Cambridge grads Chelsea and Ore experienced this first-hand and wrote Taking Up Space as a guide and a manifesto for change.
Featuring honest conversations with students past and present, Taking Up Space goes beyond the buzzwords of diversity and inclusion and explores what those words truly mean for young black girls today.
To black girls: understand that your journey is unique, this book is to empower, comfort and validate every emotion you experience, or decision you make.
To everyone else: let this book help teach you to be a better friend, parent, sibling or teacher to black girls.
