Loving Corrections

New York Times-bestselling author adrienne maree brown knows we need each other more than ever, and offers a practice for holding collective power, righting wrongs, and generating true belonging.

Ethical, pondering, and wondrous, adrienne maree brown's Loving Corrections is a collection of love-based adjustments and reframes to grow our movements for liberation while navigating a society deeply fractured by greed, racism, and war. In this landmark book, brown invigorates her influential writing on belonging and accountability into the framework of "loving corrections"; a generative space where rehearsals for the revolution become the everyday norm in relating to one another.

Filled with practical wisdom on how to be a trustworthy communicator while providing bold visions for a shared future, Loving Corrections can speak to everyone caught in the crossroads of our political challenges and potential. No matter how new to the struggle, or how numerous our failures, brown's indispensable writing is an invitation to us all. Includes an afterword by Janine de Novais.





"Beautiful and provocative." -Barbara Ransby, writer, activist, historian, and author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement

"Another brilliant, compassionate gift from one of the great thinkers of our time. Once more, adrienne maree brown embodies that her brand of activism, like her brand of empathy, is inclusive and welcoming. 'Healing is the victory, ' she promises, and we get there through authentic connection with each other, solidarity with the earth, and humility within liberatory movements. The reminder that brown offers is a gorgeous, illuminating one: we are so interconnected there is no pain, no joy, no liberation that doesn't ripple through us all." -Hala Alyan, author of Salt Houses
