Her Say by Jackie Clarke and the Aunties
You need to read Her Say by Jackie Clarke and the Aunties. It’s not just a book—it’s a testament to resilience, survival, and the sheer power of women supporting women. You’ll find yourself in the pages, whether as someone who has faced hardship, stood alongside those who have, or simply believes in the importance of lifting others up.
The stories are raw, sometimes heartbreaking, but never hopeless. Clarke and the Aunties give voice to women who have survived violence, poverty, and systemic indifference, sharing their truths with honesty and dignity. There’s no sensationalism here—just real-life experiences told with courage and care.
What makes this book essential reading is its refusal to let these stories exist in isolation. It asks you to listen, to bear witness, and to consider what you can do. It’s confronting in the best way—because once you’ve read it, you can’t unknow it. And you won’t want to.
