In their early twenties, Mimi Zhu was a survivor of intimate-partner abuse. This left them broken, in search of healing & ways to re-learn love. This work is a testament to the strength and adaptability all humans possess, a tribute to love. Be Not Afraid of Love explores the intersections of love & fear in self-esteem, friendship, family dynamics, & romantic relationships, & extends out to its effects on society & the greater political realm. In sharing their own intimate encounters with oppression, healing, joy, & community, Mimi invites readers to reflect deeply on their own experiences as well, with the intention of acting as a guide to undoing the hurt or uncertainty within them. In this heartrending & revolutionary book, Mimi reminds us, be not afraid of love.
