Talk To Me

A rebellious, empowering book about tackling tricky conversations with confidence. Because there's no greater act of defiance than using your voice. Over the last couple of years, shops have been stacked with books telling young people it's their job to change the entire world, which can feel quite overwhelming and pretty unfair (it's not like they broke the world in the first place!). Change starts with dialogue, and this book will give young people the confidence, language and tools to navigate topical and difficult conversations - whether that's with family, friends, people online or at school. While conversations with people close to you might not change lives, shatter ceilings or shake up the systems, these little acts of defiance have more value than you might realise. Leading activist Munroe Bergdorf will help young people find their voice and tackle these important conversations about modern, topical and relevant issues head-on. Using her vast experience as a change-maker as a springboard, Munroe will cover topics from beauty standards to cancel culture, from gender identity to white privilege, and from FOMO to navigating the information overload we face online, to arm young people with the tools to cut through the noise and say what needs to be said. Each chapter will begin with 'We need to talk about ...' and will give background, advice, examples, personal anecdotes from Munroe and practical takeaway tips for children aged 16+. While no person is too small to make a difference, no voice is either.
