"[A] refreshing and earnest meditation...Organizers should take note."—Publishers Weekly
“In an era steeped in division and hateful rhetoric, it's hard to imagine a more important or necessary reminder that learning and accountability are best wielded not as tools of punishment and power but as keys to remembering our shared humanity on an endangered planet.” — Kerry McHugh, Shelf Awareness
“Probing, fierce, and honest, the essays of Loving Corrections advocate for more compassionate, inclusive understandings of family, community, and oneself." —Foreword Reviews
“The beauty and grace of adrienne maree brown's praxis over many years is her political clarity braided tightly together with a profound humility. We are imperfect. We falter, and sometimes we fall down. But the point is to get up, 'self-correct,' and continue the journey and the fight. That is what Loving Corrections is all about. adrienne maree has supported so many on that journey toward more honest and meaningful lives, and in forging collective resistance to the oppressive conditions that compromise our lives. This beautiful and provocative book is one more of her many gifts to our movement toward a more just and humane world. And for this, we are forever grateful.” —Barbara Ransby, writer, activist, historian, and author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement
"The world becomes more soft, more creative, more loving, and more evolved every time adrienne maree brown decides to put pen to paper, and in Loving Corrections we have some of her best and most beautiful, thoughtful, and moving writing helping us to really delve deeply into what 'right relationship' means for ourselves in any given moment or circumstance. It is a gorgeous gift of thinking and writing but also a meditative thought partner to help readers begin to craft their own loving corrections in various parts of our lives." —Tarana Burke, author of Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement
“Another brilliant, compassionate gift from one of the great thinkers of our time. Once more, adrienne maree brown embodies that her brand of activism, like her brand of empathy, is inclusive and welcoming. ‘Healing is the victory,’ she promises, and we get there through authentic connection with each other, solidarity with the earth, and humility within liberatory movements. The reminder that brown offers is a gorgeous, illuminating one: we are so interconnected there is no pain, no joy, no liberation that doesn’t ripple through us all.” —Hala Alyan, author of Salt Houses
