What follows is a personal account of the suffering Emerald and her family endured: unsympathetic camera lenses, the stares and whispers of strangers, and the inability to mourn in private.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to these vulnerable, personal essays, \u003cem\u003eFinding My Voice\u003c\/em\u003e includes conversations in which Emerald found inspiration, empathy, and community: with politicians, athletes, and activists like Brian Benjamin and Etan Thomas; with others surviving similarly unfathomable grief like Lora Dene King, Angelique Kearse, and Pamela Brooks; and with Emerald's own family, Mrs. Esaw Garner and Eric Garner Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book ends with a powerful call-to-action by author and daughter of Malcolm X, Ilyasah Shabazz. As calls for radical transformation and accountability grow, Emerald Garner's memoir is a story of family and community, and the strength it takes to survive, to stand, to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843596407020,"sku":"9781642598803","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22978153482772.jpg?v=1758805054","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/finding-my-voice-by-emerald-garner-9781642598803","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
