All the Black Girls Are Activists by EbonyJanice Moore 🌸
There is a particular kind of rest that comes from being in community with women who are choosing softness on purpose. That's what we're building this summer. For our next Reading With Intention session, we're gathering — virtually, from wherever you are — to sit with a book that asks Black women a question we don't get asked nearly enough: who would we get to be if we didn't have to create from a place of resistance?
Grab your favorite reading chair, your tea, your candle, whatever makes a space feel like yours. All are welcome.
📖 About the Book
All the Black Girls Are Activists: A Fourth Wave Womanist Pursuit of Dreams as Radical Resistance by EbonyJanice Moore
This is a book of essays that centers a fourth wave of womanism — one rooted in dreaming, softness, ancestral reverence, and radical wholeness as tools of liberation. It's less a manual and more a love letter: to Black girls, to Black women, to anyone who has ever been told that their worth is measured by how much they can survive.
At its heart, the book reframes wellness itself as revolutionary. Rest, dreaming, play, and ease aren't indulgences here — they're the resistance. EbonyJanice writes with the voice of a preacher and the intimacy of a friend, naming what so many of us have felt but haven't had language for.
Readers describe it as a book that makes you feel seen — one that invites you to show up exactly as you are, whether that's in a headwrap or your favorite wig, and to recognize your own healing as sacred work. It sits alongside other essential voices in this space, echoing conversations that writers like Tricia Hersey and Rachel Cargle have been having about rest, dreaming, and reclaiming space — while carving out something distinctly EbonyJanice's own.
📚 The book can be purchased on all platforms that sell books, as well as through online libraries.
