About this listen

Candice Brathwaite's much-anticipated second book about all the things she wishes she'd been told when she was young and needed guidance.

I Am Not Your Baby Mother was a landmark publication in 2020. A thought-provoking, urgent and inspirational guide to life as a Black British mum, it was an important call-to-arms allowing mothers to take control and scrap the parenting rulebook to do it their own way. It was a Sunday Times top-five best seller. 

Sista Sister is a compilation of essays about all the things Candice wishes someone had talked to her about when she was a young Black girl growing up in London. From family and money to Black hair and fashion, as well as sex and friendships between people of different races, this is a fascinating listen that will have another profound impact on conversations about Black Lives Matter. 

Written in Candice's trademark straight-talking, warm and funny style, it will delight her fans, old and new.

Such a liberating book. It was reassuring to hear that the comments that are made about my skin tone are offensive and I'm not just being sensative. Would definitely listen again.

Everyone needs to hear/read this book at least once. These essays helped articulate feelings I haven’t been able to name for years and, if nothing else, it has given me a solid starting point for my own introspection and healing as a young black woman. 10/10 would read again

A series of essays I needed to hear and now my favourite book of all time

Thank you Candice for writing this. You aren’t that much older than me but I felt like I was being advised by the big sister I’ve never had but always needed.

One of the sweetest books I’ve ever read.
