A teen mother, a supportive older sister, a PhD student, a support system, a working woman, a survivor, above all, she is an \u003ci\u003eAdvocate\u003c\/i\u003e. She has spent her life working for those who do not have a voice, for those relegated to the margins, and in this book, she lends her voice to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting with 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 explain and embolden readers to make active change in their own lives. Utilising expertise 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 a voice for hope, in modern life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvocate\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of personal resistance, but also a manifesto for action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvocate \u003c\/i\u003eoffers vital and illuminating perspectives on various marginalised experiences, bringing rigour and insight to conversations that we, as a society, need to be having. I felt empowered and grateful to share in Lennina's story and lived experiences. \u003ci\u003eAdvocate \u003c\/i\u003eis a book that is equally generous and insightful, putting much of modern British narratives into sharp perspective. Anyone with any interest in areas of social justice and the numerous intersections with identity needs to read this book. It's a gift. Highly recommended. -- Jeffrey Boakye, author of Black, Listed and I Heard What You Said\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dialogue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733690495319,"sku":"9780349702216","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780349702216.jpg?v=1720001240","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/advocate-9780349702216","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
