Reviews

Sit with Me is one of those rare books that doesn’t just ask you to read. It asks you to reckon with yourself. Oneika Mays has given us something real, something necessary, something that reminds us that healing isn’t lofty or distant. It’s gritty, tender, and within reach. This book, this meditation, this prayer is for the ones carrying shame, the ones searching for wholeness, the ones who have been told to give to everyone but themselves. It’s for those of us who know we can’t be free until we learn to sit with all of who we are. — Darnell Lamont Walker, Death Doula and author of Never Can Say Goodbye
