These 10 New Books By Black Women Have Us Hyped For The Fall

Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell by Karen Walrond- Release Date: Oct. 17

Aging isn’t a process we should be afraid of. In fact, in Karen Walrdon’s forthcoming book, Radiant Rebellion, the passionate author challenges readers to stand 10 toes down in their ageless beauty.  She argues that aging is a radical act of freedom. When we reclaim the negative tropes and stereotypes associated with the aging process, we give ourselves the freedom to live an unapologetic life, free of doubt and free. 

“Through conversations with social workers and neurologists, activists and clergy, Walrond satisfies her curiosity—and ours—about why the dominant culture treats aging as a time of dwindling capacity. She also embarks on a series of experiments that help her rebel against convention: letting her hair go naturally gray, going on a silent retreat, revamping her health practices, and plotting her next adventure,” a synopsis for the forthcoming book states.
