Life, i swear

Intimate Stories from Black Women on
Identity, Healing, and Self-Trust

Life, I Swear is a chronicle of transformation and growth by and for modern-day Black women. Part memoir, part anthology, 26 Black women voices chronicle their private journeys, offering testimonies of living through pain and joy with raw honesty and unapologetic self-love.

Chloe explores the nuances of our diverse experiences. A catalyst for change, this revelatory book dives into themes of mental health, identity and resilience. Life, I Swear is sure to spark lively, thought-provoking, and necessary conversations that encourage Black women to return home to themselves through self-examination and grace.   

A buffet of spirituality practices also serves as a common denominator most contributors credit with guiding them on their journeys. The narratives are honest and heartfelt with affection sliding off the page and into the heart of the reader.
