Talk To Me

There’s no greater act of defiance than using your voice

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An empowering book about tackling tricky conversations with confidence.


Change starts with dialogue, and no one knows this better than writer, activist and model, Munroe Bergdorf.

While you might think that conversations won’t change lives or shake up the systems, these little acts of defiance have more value than you might realise - whether it's with friends, family, people online or a room full of strangers.

Talk To Me gives you the tools to navigate tough discussions; to change people's minds; to accept when you're wrong; and to know when to step away. Covering topics from beauty standards, cancel culture, gender identity and more, this book is an essential guide to cutting through the noise and saying what needs to be said.


While no person is too small to make a difference, no voice is either.
