À propos de cet audio

 From the disability rights advocate and creator of the #DisabledAndCute viral campaign, a thoughtful, inspiring, and charming collection of essays exploring what it means to be black and disabled in a mostly able-bodied white America.

Keah Brown loves herself, but that hadn’t always been the case. Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But after years of introspection and reaching out to others in her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her perspective.

In The Pretty One, Brown gives a contemporary and relatable voice to the disabled—so often portrayed as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called “the pretty one” by friends) to navigating romance; her deep affinity for all things pop culture—and her disappointment with the media’s distorted view of disability; and her declaration of self-love with the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute.

By “smashing stigmas, empowering her community, and celebrating herself” (Teen Vogue), Brown and The Pretty One aims to expand the conversation about disability and inspire self-love for people of all backgrounds. Amour-propre

It's a fantastic book. It's relatable for anyone who feels "unconventional". I related to it on so many levels, disability being just one. This book made me feel seen. (Also it's well-written and enjoyable.)

Absolutely fabulous.

This is an engaging set of essays from an author that makes me wish she gets every opportunity she dreams of—that place in the writer's room of a TV show, romantic love...to be honest, after reading this book, I feel like she deserves a starring role in a romantic comedy like the ones she loves to watch. Keah Brown is so relatable, funny, honest, humble. This essay collection, spanning topics ranging from music and movies to internalized ableism and suicidal ideation, is a treat. Read it.

A treat for your ears!
