About this book
"Liberation is ultimately a celebration of our deepest humanity, and our fight for it must include a deeper examination of how we relate to oppressive systems while centering our joy, peace, and pleasure." âTinaStrawn Are We Free Yet? T he Black Queer Guide to Divorcing America is simultaneously a personal reflection and a collective examination of our relationship to liberation and oppression. In it, Tina Strawn, host of the Speaking of Racism podcast and Instagram platform of the same name, shares her intimate experiences of queerness and Blackness, heartbreak and loss, foreign and home, as she navigates and finds freedom. Alongside Tina's personal journey through a year of challenging transitions, Are We Free Yet? offers an interactive guide to four pillars of activism: joy, liberation, pleasure, and connection. From the role of cannabis to the importance of embracing our grief, this book offers a critical take on all it means to be an activist, offering deep reflection and discussions on race, social change, sex, and healing. Divorce expert ( divorced from a husband, a wife, and a country ) and author Tina Strawn will challenge readers to:
- Question what freedom means and looks like in their lives.
- Consider what leaving the country could look like for them.
- See themselves (their preferences, personality traits, and biases) in their activism.
- Deeply investigate what it means to them to be an American and to love or not love "your" country.
