„To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves – there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.“ – #JoanDidion instagram_post – 30.05.2020 – @nikejane Artikel-Navigation ← Boys and girls, if you’re looking for a vegan, conscious and cruelty free lipstick that lasts and looks sharp, I can only repeat myself: @kessberlin it is 3 new summer colors are officially launching next week – but whoop, you can already get them today via my stories.

It follows 12 characters (one in each chapter), most of them black British womxn, learning how to be. They all may be pretty different, they make different decisions, even live in different decades, make different experiences – but they are connected and united in feeling it all. The struggle, the fear, the hope, the confusion, the anger, the sisterhood. They’re old, they’re young, they’re rebellious and shy, poor and rich, they love men and women. And they should be heard. Not only that Evaristo’s 8th book teaches us empathy – but so much more. #GirlWomanOther is about listening and (un)learning. It’s about racism, gender identity, politics and heartache, about feminism, class, sexuality and – life. It’s a poem. It’s experimental. It is, indeed, a breath-taking symphony.
