What do you bring to the table? In I Am the Table: The Manifesto for Her, The Manual for Him, author India Trotter serves a bold, soulful, and refreshingly honest guide to modern love and emotional maturity — for women who’ve grown wiser and the men brave enough to meet them there. For women, it’s a manifesto — a declaration that peace, standards, and self-worth aren’t arrogance, they’re alignment.

That’s the story of Black womanhood—our ability to rise even when the world tries to flatten us.
