Description
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Taking Up Space, by Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi. A groundbreaking exploration of the problems of diversity in education, by two extremely talented young graduates.
As a minority in a predominantly white institution, taking up space is an act of resistance. And in higher education, feeling like you constantly have to justify your existence within institutions that weren't made for you is an ongoing struggle for many people.
Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi, two recent Cambridge graduates, wrote Taking Up Space as a guide and a manifesto for change: tackling issues of access, unrepresentative curricula, discrimination in the classroom, the problems of activism and life before and after university.
Featuring honest conversations with students past and present, Taking Up Space goes beyond the buzzwords of diversity and inclusion and explores what those words truly mean for young black girls today.

Needed that
When I bought this book, I very much felt like I wouldn’t get that much out of it on a personal level, mainly because I had finished university and the world when I was involved in student politics seemed like it was multiple lifetimes ago. However, I did want to support these young women who in many ways I saw myself and my experiences in, as well at the second book to come from #Merky Books.
I was comforted by the solace, I found in these stories, I found closure I didn’t know I lacked in listening to these women’s experiences but I was surprised to also feel challenged.
The book explores a myriad of topics from the lack of diversity in elite higher education institutions to mental health, relationships - romantic and political as well as many other topics.
I needed the kick up the bum to remember that being active in using my voice and allocating my time is still necessary, and it helped me realise that while I was burnt out, I have since recuperated my energy and need to get back to the fight!
