520 Be Not Afraid of Love is a stunning collection of
interconnected essays and affirmations that follow Mimi
Zhu's journey toward embodying and re-learning love after
a violent relationship. In their early twenties, queer
Chinese-Australian writer and artist Mimi Zhu was a
survivor of intimate-partner abuse. This left them broken,
in search of ways to heal and find love again. They found
that in words. In sharing their own intimate encounters
with oppression, healing, joy and community, Mimi invites
readers all over the world to reflect deeply on their own
experiences, with the intention of acting as a guide to
undoing the hurt or uncertainty within them. This book is
a continuation of that re-learning, exploring the
intersections of love and fear in self-esteem, friendship,
family dynamics and romantic relationships, and extending
out to its effects on society and the greater political
realm. Mimi's powerful and provocative words will guide
and inspire readers to lean into love with softness.
Heartrending and revolutionary, Be Not Afraid of Love is a
testament to the strength and adaptability all humans
possess, and a tribute to love in all its forms
