A Body of Work with Bold Humility

Reviewed: 11-10-21

A very honest, vulnerable, humble account of a lengthy series of events that lead this woman to where she is today, in her own words. Emily raised questions in this body of work about an industry and arguably world that has objectified women since it’s existence, yet why should anyone have to deal with sexual harassment or being treated as an object at any stage of life - regardless of your profession or how you identify? The author documents and details many of the ways she seeks to exercise agency and influence over her life in effort to experience a level of power and security that she yearns for whilst working in an environment where her livelihood largely depends on her being what other people want her to be. There are references that could be triggering to some people with a past of mental health issues, as topics bordering on sexual assault, depression, suicidal thoughts, disordered eating. It’s nice to hear Emily talk about many challenging aspects of her life, and in doing so with bold humility becomes incredibly relatable to us all. The author seeks to find humanity within herself and others while capitalizing off of what she considers to be her greatest assets in “My Body.” Thought provoking for mind, body, and spirit. Congratulations, Emily and God Bless.
