On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Sonya Renee Taylor, activist, poet, and author of the NYT bestselling book, The Body is Not an Apology:  The Power of Radical Self-Love.  We speak with Sonya today about her book, her philosophy of radical self-love, and she shares specific tools, actions, and resources for confronting some of our most challenging systems of oppression.

During our conversation, Sonya and I referenced the following resources:

• Sonya's Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook: Tools for Living Radical
• How we use this concept of "radical self-love" to transform how we feel in our own bodies, how we feel about ourselves, based on the messages we receive from the world
• bell hooks' work on self-love such as Communion:  The Female Search for Love
