"What Stays and What Goes gives us an opportunity to examine what we have and to discover what matters most: who we are. Faith knows that true 'organizing' is an invitation to examine our homes and ultimately, ourselveswho we were, who we are, and who were becoming." Christine Platt, bestselling author of The Afrominimalists Guide to Living With Less
"What Stays and What Goes is a beautifully written blend of memoir, organizing manual, and meditation on the things we ownhow we feel about them, and the work they demand of us. Faith Roberson encourages readers to not just accept the emotions that arise in the organizing process but to use those emotions to accomplish more profound forms of self-refection and growth. She helps us imagine what it would mean to create homes that reflect who we are, not who we think we need to be. Importantly, Faith also reminds us that while our homes are deeply personal, the work we do in them is also political, reflecting and reinforcing cultural expectations and inequalities around gender, race, and class." Carrie M. Lane, author of More Than Pretty Boxes: How the Rise of Professional Organizing Shows Us the Way We Work Isn't Working
