becoming. Paperback – May 19, 2020

A raw, transparent but empowering read. Her words rip right through the heart and leaves you wanting more. You feel like you’re hanging on the couch, drinking wine with your friend who just “gets you” while reading it.

Love love love! This book really spoke to my soul. If you’re on a healing journey, this is a must read!

this book has filled my heart with so much hope and comfort ❤️😩

Absolutely relatable on so many levels. This book touches on so many emotions. Must read.

Becoming is so terribly moving it sometimes hurts. And I say it as so because Renaada Williams doesn’t shy away from the experiences of her depression. Williams doesn’t make it pretty or give it a complete 'it’ll be okay' vibe. It’s gritty and real and something to still be worked through.Bad days. Good days. Williams bares it all when it comes to mental health. Then on top of that, she includes love and loss and racism with heart and bitter honesty.Becoming feels like just the tipping point to her story and it has put Williams on my radar of authors to watch and I can’t wait to watch her grow in her art.

Incredible collection of poems. It’s inspiring and enlightening. I highly recommend this book.

I love this book

truly remarkable and moving, especially for the global times that we are all living in. to say that ms. williams bares her soul wouldn’t be enough. in this expanded collection of Becoming, renaada invites you in to truly see what it means to live Black, to live with mental illness and broken love but also how to reach the other side to become what you were created and put on this earth for. ms. williams is a remarkable talent and i honestly cannot wait to read more of her work.
