Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others

Product Information

We wanted to document the lives of Black queer people in Britain – not just those seen as icons or famous figures but the everyday people who contributed to the building of Black culture and frequented Black spaces. His recovery is a long process with set backs and an eventual understanding that this is a daily, chronic problem. His memory, as it’s articulated through those who knew him, is a real testament to the enduring, revolutionary love that we practise towards each other. The Dangerous Kingdom of Love, his most recent title, was memorably described as 'like Hilary Mantel on acid' and chosen as one of The Times' Best Historical Fiction Novels. I'm so glad that he is doing much better now that he is in a good enough place to share his story with the world.

Overall, the memoir is a realistic, yet hopeful look at a tough mental health struggle and the journey to healing. There was a fantastic release of images of her in Vogue in August 2017, for example, where she is wearing a black sweater and standing against a wall. I love this picture as it’s a rare image of Black gay love and intimacy – it’s radical simply because it puts Black gay love front and centre. Obviously no hallucinations, but I could actually feel love pressing on me like it fills the empty spaces of my room.It also acts as a reminder of a very important place in LGBTQ history, and emphasises the need for spaces that are separate from the commercial gay scene.

But what has stuck with me is his duty of care towards the Black gay men he met – often strangers whom he took in to provide shelter, food and safety. There was a part in this book where Levi details his inner conflict for seeking help, in fears that it would get out into the media and paint him in a negative light. He has just stated that His disciples are blessed when men hate them, ostracize them, heap insults on them, and spurn their names as evil for His sake (6:22). what is ultimately a beautiful, sentimental exploration of divine love and the many forms it can take, radical love is a concise, curated collection of sufi poetry designed to make you feel — my most favorite thing.

If Jesus was teaching passive non-resistance to all evil men, how do you explain His making a scourge of cords and driving the merchandisers out of the temple? This book is mostly about Zac's experiences and what he learned about himself, but he also shares helpful tips about things that helped him that may be helpful for the reader. In a fragile, colourful secret world under threat, Church's love for Ned takes him to the edge of reason. So, yes, there is a lot of talk about medication and therapy and mental wellness 'retreats', but Levi has a platform to talk about his journey and the help he received and the things he learned, and I am beyond thankful to him for being vulnerable to share that with us.
