PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR: ‘ Bergdorf is proof that speaking up for what you believe in can provoke real change’ Vogue ‘ A phenomenon’ Owen Jones, Guardian ‘ A powerful and unstoppable new force . In recent years Munroe has gone on to grace the cover of Time Magazine (for their Next Generation Leaders issue), Paper Magazine, Guardian Weekend Magazine and GQ Style as well as Attitude Magazine and Glamour Magazine which saw Munroe pick up the Hero Award and Gamechanger Influencer Award respectively. It stretches way beyond Bergdorf’s own gender transition story to explore the many transitions we all go through in our brief time on this earth. In this confident and erudite memoir Munroe Bergdorf has written not only a moving story of her own life as a biracial trans woman in the UK she has also provided an excellent introduction to the experience of trans and BIPOC people in love, in work and in society.

Just as she emerges with a contract, she is embroiled in controversy for speaking out on racism and standing in solidarity with the people of Charlottesville. I was rapidly approaching my thirties and still living pay cheque to pay cheque, trying to keep my mental health from taking a complete nosedive in the way it had in the past. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely - regardless of how we identify - but nor do we stay the same forever. Munroe has fronted campaigns for beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands Illamasqua, Uniqlo, Mulberry and Calvin Klein. It was the feeling of waking up, of accessing the confidence to be fully present, fearless and bold.Kirschbaum praised Bergdorf for having “a point of view that is exceptionally wise and humane, and the life experience to back it up”.
