YOUR POWER IS YOUR RADICAL SELF (Memoir, Self-Help)
Your Power Is Your Radical Self. Find It dismantles the narratives that have disempowered women and provides a roadmap for reclaiming our voice, body, and spirit. A book of self-ownership at its core, is both a manifesto and a guide, giving women the permission, and the tools, to take up space, use their voices, and shape their futures, written by a woman who has had to do so herself. Each chapter of the book explores a different form of power, from the political strength of our voices to the sacred wisdom of our feminine energy. Each is backed by Aya's personal and often, turbulent experiences, as well as with cultural analysis, and practical steps for self-empowerment.
