An anthology of essays, letters, and creative work reflecting on
the experience of Black girlhood, by an inspiring group of teenage
girls. The voices of young Black girls are too often left out of
conversations on the Black girl experience; in this collection, the
founder of South London-based organisation Milk Honey Bees seeks to
bring their voices to the front. Girlhood Unfiltered will reach
those readers who relate, those who want to learn and those who
care deeply about their community.
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy

Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
