Book Announcement! Full of Myself: Black Womanhood & The Journey to Self-Possession. Coming August 26, 2025. Pre-order links in stories!
I learned at a young age that being “full of myself” was a bad thing. Maybe you heard that message too. But I have decided that I want to be full of myself: my ideas, my opinions, my curiosities, my needs, my emotions, my… self.
For marginalized people—especially Black women—seeking to understand the true roots of their burnout, or for anyone wondering what it means to live joyfully in a hostile world, FULL OF MYSELF is an exploration of hope and joy, of pleasure and grief, of community and autonomy. It’s about the complexity of being human and deciding, finally, to live.
I wrote this book as an invitation to begin defining yourself not as empty vessels to improve the world but as a people born free in spirit, in hope, in joy.
My hope is that you will find within these stories the deep truth of Black women’s humanity, a complexity, a constellation of realities. A humanity to be celebrated. A humanity to be embraced. A humanity that exists not to save the world but to save ourselves.

I’m about to cry right along with @symonedsanders about all these Black women taking their rightful position in leadership. After all that Black women have endured under this administration- the attacks, let go from jobs, decimation of grants, collabs, sponsorships and DEI efforts…. WE ARE STILL HERE.
WE ARE STILL HERE.
And thank you to the one and only @staceyabrams who created not only the apparatus in GA but so much of the HOPE that we are experiencing right now. I hope I can thank you in person one day.

I was so grateful when @christenacleveland invited me to share more about my next project on the riots. And I’m grateful for all the amens from attendees. It would mean so much to have your support for this project. austinchanning.com/riots to give, reshare or support ✊🏾

Raising money to produce a new web series that uplifts Black history and challenges the narratives so many of us have accepted about riots, anger, violence and northern segregation. If that sounds like your kind of carrying on, please check it out:

Im crowdfunding for a new project and I sure could use your help. For almost a year I’ve been traveling to Akron, OH to learn about the riot that happened there in 1968. I found hundreds of pages of documents of folks from the neighborhood describing *their* experience of Akron- a story that rarely made it to press. Now I’d like to do the same across the Midwest. But I need your help.
Funds. Miles. Gift cards. Introductions. Shares. Everything matters. To check out more about this project or to give head over to austinchanning.com/riot

This is one of those scary posts… asking for support from those who are able to give. I’ll be telling you about this project for the next 21 days, raising as much money as I can to make this project a reality. Can I start telling you about it right now?
I’m developing a new project, and it’s Black, defiant, story-driven, subversive, gritty, midwestern…
It will center the stories of teenagers, welfare mothers, bartenders, number runners, militants, organizers ball players and ministers.
too bring you stories of the 1960s riots in Milwaukee, Waterloo, Minneapolis, Akron, Grand Rapids, Wichita and Indianapolis.
“Black people destroyed their own neighborhoods” is simplistic and uninteresting.
Help me develop a new web series, complicating the condemning narrative that plagues the historical and modern telling of The Struggle of Black people in this country- through the lens of the 1960s urban riots.
Help make this web series a reality… learn more and give to: Riots, Rage & Social Change. Visit austinchanning.com/riot or visit the link in bio.
Thanks for reading to the end!
If you don’t have it to give right now (and believe me I understand!) there are many more ways to support and collaborate. Head to the link or stay tuned right here for more.

I’m stunned by how many white people want to “burn it all down” like the French, until one Target has been looted and a QuikTrip you would never stop at is burning. The rules for revolution change fast around here.
PS: no I am not actually stunned,
and neither are you.
