Liberty Chapman had a difficult childhood. The oldest of four kids, she tried to protect them from their violent father until one day he murdered their mother & got sent down.

What was left of the family rattled through the care system, bouncing from foster placement to care home. Liberty would have probably ended up on drugs, or dead, or worse if it hadnt been for a ballsy solicitor who told her to get her act together. So thats what she did. She kept her nose clean, got an education.

And look at her now. New name, new accent, new town. The past is far behind her & shes concentrating on her own legal career. She has a Porsche, a house in Hampstead... & then one morning her boss asks her to do a favour. He wants her to go to Leeds, to get an important clients son off an assault charge.

But Leeds is in Libertys past. & once she hits town, the past slaps her in the face... & pulls her back into what she worked so hard to leave behind.

Product Description

As a minority in a predominantly white institution, taking up space is an act of resistance. Recent Cambridge grads Chelsea & Ore experienced this first-h&, & wrote  Taking Up Space as a guide & a manifesto for change.

FOR BLACK GIRLS:

Understand that your journey is unique. Use this book as a guide. Our wish for you is that you read this & feel empowered, comforted & validated in every emotion you experience, or decision that you make.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

We can only hope that reading this helps you to be a better friend, parent, sibling or teacher to black girls living through what we did. It's time we stepped away from seeing this as a problem that black people are charged with solving on their own.

It's a collective effort.
& everyone has a role to play.
