Things are WILD right now. The scale at which we have to fight. The number of fronts on which we are being attacked. The indiscriminate nature of attacks. It’s wild out here. But most of it isn’t new. And I think that distinction is important, not as a way of diminishing what we are experiencing, but as a way to remind us that we already have the tools to fight back. When discussing how I am navigating the world being on fire @jenhatmaker💜 | Austin Channing Brown

Black women told you. We talked abt this. We wrote abt this. We preached abt this. We researched this. We warned abt this. And we were largely ignored. Don’t make the same mistake twice. Listen to Black women; believe in our assessment of American democracy. Trust we know what we’re talking abt. | Austin Channing Brown

We all live on a big rock floating in space. But the miraculous nature of that statement is easy to dismiss when our minds are occupied with the realities of injustice being forced upon us daily. Still, I think it’s integral to our survival to remember how big the universe is and to our justice work itself- to remember that every human is also starshine (thank you Lucille Clifton).

I’m not much of a “nature girl” unless I’m sitting by the ocean. But for the last few months I have prioritized talking a walk in the morning, and I’m finding how just this tiny hint of nature is healing and clarifying and connecting. Every day I report to my bestie what I discovered as I teasingly tell her that I’m entering my birding era. I have discovered that it’s really kind to my nervous system. What is not kind to my nervous system is the comment section on my last post (a warning about t

Im not usually scared to post here. Ive been on the internet long enough to experience all kinds of reactions to my writing. And yet, this post- this post for my upcoming book tour- has me feeling nervous. Though we often wonder if the internet is a real place, this makes my upcoming book release feel very, very real. But here I am. Just a Black girl from Ohio. Standing in front of you all. Asking you to join me. All the specifics can be found at austinchanning.com/tour | Austin Channing Brown

First half is for Black women. Second half is for white women. There is a quick note at the end for those trying to walk their girls/daughters/nieces through this moment. Hope there is at least one sentence here that is helpful. If it doesn’t meet you where you are, please feel free to move on. Get what you need today. Peace be unto you all. | Austin Channing Brown

Does acquiring wealth require conservative views and the hoarding of resources? Hell No! So, fellow troublemakers repel the status quo alongside us as we examine the interconnectedness of the masses, mass wealth, and mass deportation.

How I love this clip of Octavia Butler discussing her work of science fiction. There are some true gems in here but this is my favorite, because every time I pick up a pen, this is what I feel is happening. I am writing myself back into the story. I am writing myself back into the story of America, back into the story of education, back into the story of religion, back into the story of womanhood, back into the story of my family, back into the story of my body, my existence. I hope one day I ca

I wrote Im Still Here in 2015, trying to make sense of my own story within the larger American story, having recently gone through the Ferguson Uprising, the Mother Emmanuel Shooting, and a brutal season of Black people being brutalized on our screens. The 2016 election unfolded as I was turning in my final edits. I was working full time, living in the bottom of a dormitory as I did my best to care for 200 students, and I was pregnant. I will never forget trying to figure out where to put my lap

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT! When I was a kid, my dad rarely sent me to my room if I was in trouble. He knew Id be perfectly happy sitting in silence with a blanket and a good book. I loved fiction- especially Judy Blume and other coming of age stories. But as I developed an interest in social justice, I found myself reading non-fiction more and more. And I am grateful for non-fiction (I write non-fiction lol). I still purchase non-fiction books on a regular basis because I want to support those authors an
