Above all, she is an advocate. She has spent her life working for those relegated to the margins, and in this book, she lends her voice to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving in her own life story, from her beautiful family to her hardest struggles, Ofori opens the door to intersections that are familiar to many - race, class and gender - and uses her expertise to embolden readers to make active change in their own lives. Drawing on knowledge from across the globe, from the teachings of bell hooks to government reports, Ofori makes accessible topics that are so often ignored. From her unique perspective as a Black woman who has lived many lives, Ofori is a daring voice for change and hope in modern life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvocate \u003c\/i\u003eis a tale of personal resistance, but also a manifesto for action.
