I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • From a leading voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian, and female that exposes how white America’s love affair with “diversity” so often falls short of its ideals.

“Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a master memoirist. This book will break open hearts and minds.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

Austin Channing Brown’s first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and churches, Austin writes, “I had to learn what it means to love blackness,” a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America’s racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion.

In a time when nearly every institution (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claims to value diversity in its mission statement, Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice. Her stories bear witness to the complexity of America’s social fabric—from Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations.

For readers who have engaged with America’s legacy on race through the writing of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson, I’m Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God’s ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.

This is my experience as a Black woman!,. Finally a book that really describes the experience of being a black Christian girl growing up in a predominantly white community. She even tackles going to school, college and working. I feel she had the right vocabulary to describe the experience of a Black woman living in North America. There a lot of things she described that were not even on my radar. I see clearly now! What I like the most is she challenges the reader to not only open their eyes to the reality of injustices that are past down from centuries plasters with a bandaid of we have a dream chant of MLK BUT to look at channeling their anger or guilt with creativity to make a difference or change in the future. I like that this book talks to everyone, not only White and Black people. Not only Christian too! What a discovery! I love this book so much as it put a vocabulary and translated my living experience into WORDS/paper. I like also that it was on the sunshine list of Reese Weatherspoon! It means not only Black people should read this but everyone else.

Must read. A beautifully written hard-truth story from a Black woman’s soul. It was like having an honest and vulnerable cup of coffee the author as she laid out her life’s struggle. Thank you for writing this, Austin.
