When Breonna Taylor was killed, her police report was virtually
blank. Feeling as if she was suffocating in the initial silence and
lack of public outcry, anti-racism educator and activist Faitth
Brooks wondered, “Would the world care about and remember me if I
was killed?”
In Remember Me Now, Faitth grapples with
the answer, charting the story of her activist grandparents
and ancestors, as well as chronicling her own journey as
the first-generation suburbs kid who becomes an activist
and organizer herself. Part manifesto, part love letter to Black
women, Remember Me Now shows us how we learn to
celebrate the fullness of ourselves—a holy, defiant, and necessary
move in a world determined to silence us.
