This is a narrative of Black women's resistance.

Weaving together narratives that celebrate the triumph of Black female resistance, Catherine Joy White takes us on a unique journey through the eyes of positive and inspiring disruptors.

Throughout history, acts of defiance have taken place in secret, in kitchens, churches, through trusted networks. Others were projected onto a global stage through art, politics and activism.

From Alice Walker to Beyoncé, from Audre Lorde to Doreen Lawrence, from Aretha Franklin to Zendaya: Catherine Joy White charts her own journey to self-discovery through the prism of extraordinary women to create a beautiful tapestry of Black joy.

Taking on the legacy of Angela Davis's Women, Race and Class, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider and Saidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, This Thread of Gold brings new life to the history of Black women's resistance.

Catherine Joy White is a gender advisor for the United Nations, writer, actor and filmmaker. Her debut screenplay, Fifty-Four Days, was released in Autumn 2022, and her first book, This Thread of Gold, was published by Dialogue Books in June 2023. She has been honoured as a member of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, long-listed for AllBright's 'Innovative Trailblazer Award' and heralded as one of 'Five Activists Who Should Be On Your Radar' by the Trouble Club (previous speakers including Gloria Steinem and Margaret Atwood).
