One of VOGUE's 6 Female Writers to Read in 2018

It's not always easy to find self-worth in a world that seems obsessed with telling us we're not good enough. Empowering, intimate and full of heart, this highly anticipated debut audiobook from the online sensation 'The Slumflower', aka Chidera Eggerue, the unstoppable force behind the groundbreaking movement #SAGGYBOOBSMATTER, is essential listening for all young women. It's time to take charge of your life.

In What a Time to Be Alone, The Slumflower will be your life guru, confidante and best friend. She'll show you that being alone is not just okay: it's just about the best freaking thing that's ever happened to you. As she says, 'You're bad as hell and you were made with intention.' It's about time you realised. Peppered with insightful Igbo proverbs from Chidera's Nigerian mother and narrated by the author, this audiobook will help you to navigate the modern world. We can all decide our own fates, and Chidera shows us how, using a three-part approach filled with sass, wisdom and charm.

Learn how to celebrate you - decide your self-worth, take time to heal and empower yourself in this messy world.

Don't worry about them - avoid other people's demons and realize that everyone is protecting themselves from something - no matter how aggressive their method.

Feel the togetherness in US - sustain and grow healthy relationships and avoid toxicity in your friendships.

Own your story. Create your own narrative. Listen to this audiobook. #WATTBA

4th time through this book!

Chidera Eggerue’s literary voice is OUTSTANDING! I had genuinely never heard women speak the way Chidera expresses her female wisdom and experience. She offers concise solutions on how to immediately improve your self image, acknowledge the depth if your unique personal value, raise your standards to the level you know they truly exist and how to never ever settle for less. This book and its reading by the author are incredibly powerful and valuable for people who wish to do better.

Great Inspiration

Absolutely love this book!Uplifting, fun and really hits you in the heart. Read it twice

Love this book

This book provides invaluable tools for life. I have listened to this book more than four times within the last four months and each time, I obtain more gems of wisdoms that were missed the times before.

I suggest that this book is obtained and listened to during moments of self doubt and self exploration. Simply Amazing!!!

Greatttttt

Wow just amazing and I love the narrative flow. I needed this at this exact time

Wish it was longer!

I felt spoken into and hope that your message gets spread far and wide. Loved listening to the book in your voice. Great read, highly recommend!

WOW.

Absolutely recommend. Completely relatable, Wonderfully composed, and extremely helpful. I couldn’t put it away! I saved so many things to do or understand to be the person I want to be.

Timely & On Point

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I’m a single female, I’m 27, and just moved out of the country for the first time in life. I am going through a season of expected & unexpected changes. Uncertainty is a consistent player in my life at the moment. This book was recommended to me by another 20 something friend going through her own self love journey. She said this was a great first book as she began her journey. I can see why. It’s straight and to the point while covering multiple topics of self doubt, forgiveness of others and oneself, loneliness, etc. A previous reviewer stated this book was for the 20 something crowd and I would say they are partially correct. It can also be for anyone who wants a more straight to the point reading and is in a transition of self but needs help processing/coping. If you’re someone who is trying to figure themselves and life out, this book can get you started.

Required reading

What a time to read this book, stuck alone in quarantine. A quick read with an important message, this book should be required reading for everyone in the western world, if not everyone on the planet.

I’m a huge fan

I really enjoyed listening to this, I feel like it was exactly what I needed right on time. I’ll most likely listen again in my car when I’m driving or when I start my day. Black Women please buy this is for you!

Helped me soo much!

Awesome book! This book helped me go learn secrets to enjoy my own company! Sooo helpful and honest!
