Overview
"It is hard to express how important I feel this book is.” —Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple A powerful and poetic illustrated meditation on hip-hop and mindfulness “I want to create music and experiences for people to understand that it’s okay to be exactly who you are. You are enough.” —Born I Reading like a book of poetry with accompanying commentary, Lyrical Dharma explores the lyrics and life experience of Born I, conscious hip-hop rapper and meditation teacher. Born I's journey of self-expression from a façade of bravado and materialism to a raw sharing of joy, failure, anxiety, and insight inspires and uplifts. The book offers: the stories and insights behind the lyrics of Born I's most powerful and popular songs a beautifully designed package studded with photos and illustrations an authentic expression of Zen insight and mindfulness practice married to creative expression a resonant invitation to young BIPOC readers seeking a path to navigate the complexities of identity, society, and inner peace in a divided and dissonant world a testament to the power of music and mindfulness to foster well-being, joy, and empowerment Born I’s core message—“you are enough” rings through these pages, encouraging readers to embrace their imperfections and celebrate themselves just as they are, in the here and now.
