Description
Zita Holbourne doesn’t just speak truth to power—she fights for it.
In this powerful and inspiring autobiography, poet, artist, and activist Zita shares her journey from creative rebel to one of the UK’s most fearless voices for justice. Whether leading national campaigns for workers’ rights or challenging inequality in the arts, she has fought for a fairer society.
Blending vivid storytelling with the passion that fuels her poetry and art, Zita reveals the moments that shaped her, the battles that defined her, and the unshakable belief that change is always possible.
Bold, urgent, and deeply moving, this is the story of a woman who turned her voice into a weapon—and a movement.
Perfect for readers of inspiring memoirs and stories of courage, this is more than a life story—it’s a call to stand up, speak out, and make a difference.
Advance Praise
“This is not simply the story of an activist; it is a testament to what it means to live your values, to use your voice and your art in the service of justice, and to keep showing up for our communities.” – Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah
“...Treading a unique path, often in the toughest of political times, Zita inspires commitment in others but, importantly, also, confidence that radical change can be secured.” – John McDonnell, MP
“Zita Holbourne is an exceptional award-winning artist, poet, educator, public speaker, and human rights advocate whose commitment to Human Rights and Public Policy is monumental. Her legacy of service is recognised internationally. It has been an honour to include her as a lecturer-presenter in an annual Study Abroad course for University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee interdisciplinary students. Her contributions and expertise are an invaluable resource for faculty and students in the development and evolution of our Movements of Black Life course.”
