Chloé Cooper Jones, EASY BEAUTY: A Memoir
from Totally Booked with Zibby
"I'm human like anybody else. I'm susceptible to all these bad narratives that I both internalize about myself or can turn on other people." Pulitzer Prize finalist, professor, and author Chloé Cooper Jones joins Zibby to talk about her memoir, Easy Beauty, which documents her global exploration and life with a disability. The two discuss misconceptions about motherhood, how Chloé dismantled the weight of society's judgment of those with disabilities, and her love of Roger Federer. Chloé also shares what her relationship with her son looks like today and how she's handled criticism from those who still choose to disrespect disabled mothers.
