Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Forget the aesthetics of mainstream minimalism and discover a life of authenticity and intention with this practical guide to living with less?your way.When Christine Platt set out on her journey to live with less, she never intended to become The Afrominimalist. She just wanted to tame the chaos in her closet! But after struggling with the austerity and whiteness of mainstream minimalism, Christine realized why minimalism often seems unattainable for so many: the emphasis on all-white, barren aesthetics distracts from the practice of living with intention. And so, she decided to do things her way by curating a life of less influenced by the African diaspora. In The Afrominimalist?s Guide to Living With Less, Christine gets right to the heart of how childhood experiences and expectations manifest in adulthood, the delicate dance between needs and wants, and the complicated weight of familial and societal pressures. A far cry from Konmaried closets, capsule wardrobes, and conspicuous consumption, Christine?s brand of ?living with less? is more than a decluttering regimen. Inspired by her personal journey, Christine presents a radical revisioning of minimalism, one that celebrates the importance of history and heritage, and gives you permission to make space for what really matters?your way. Beautifully illustrated with original black-and-white prints and line drawings, The Afrominimalist?s Guide to Living With Less is a testament to the idea that anyone can be a minimalist and a warm invitation to a life curated with intention, perfect for readers of Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus (The Minimalists), Marie Kondo, Joshua Becker, and Courtney Carver.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In the vein of Such a Fun Age, a whip-smart, compulsively readable novel about two upper-class stay-at-home mothers?one white, one Black?living in a "perfect" suburb that explores motherhood, friendship, and the true meaning of sisterhood amidst the backdrop of America?s all-too-familiar racial reckoning. De?Andrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their five-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginia?a move motivated by circumstance rather than choice. De?Andrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, and between her mother-in-law?s Alzheimer's diagnosis, her daughter starting kindergarten, and the overwhelming whiteness of Rolling Hills, she finds herself struggling to adjust to her new community. To ease the transition, her therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend. When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, the Whitmans, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughters? school, she?s championed racial diversity in the community?and what could be better than a brand-new Black family? It?s serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Now, Rebecca can put everything she?s learned about antiracism into practice?especially those oh-so-informative social media posts. And finally, the Parent Diversity Committee will have some? well, diversity.  Following her therapist?s suggestion, De?Andrea reluctantly joins Rebecca?s committee. The painfully earnest white woman is so overly eager it makes De?Andrea wonder if Rebecca?s therapist told her to make a Black friend! But when Rolling Hill?s rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isn?t the only thing they have in common. . . .…
