Community Book Club

Join Room to Breathe therapist Lauren Gestes for a guided discussion of "The Body Is Not An Apology" by Sonya Renee Taylor.

"The Body Is Not An Apology" by Sonya Renee Taylor explores the concept of radical self-love and advocates for embracing one's body without conforming to societal beauty standards. The book examines harmful beliefs about body image to support readers in moving towards self-acceptance and empowerment. Lauren will facilitate reflection questions and discussions included throughout the book around topics such as: media influence on beauty standards, exploring internalized messages of body shame, and the connection to systems of oppression. Participants will have the opportunity to explore what it means to practice radical self-love in daily life.
