A ground-breaking, eye-opening and inspiring memoir-meets-manifesto by Georgia Harrison, who rocketed to fame after winning a court case against her ex-boyfriend on counts of revenge porn. This book will be a movement.
In 2020, Georgia Harrison's world was ripped apart when her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear shared intimate footage of her online without consent. But this is not a sad story - it's a story about the power of hope, a journey to justice, and a rallying cry for change.Thanks to Georgia's trailblazing and courageous campaign, Bear was found guilty of revenge porn, voyeurism, and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress. This culminated in a 21-month jail sentence, a ruling that has been widely celebrated as a huge win for women - and which has cemented Georgia as a feminist icon.In the unfiltered and unflinching Taking Back My Power, Georgia tells her empowering story. This important and inspirational book calls attention to the urgent need to address the issue of non-consensual filming that affects so many young girls and women today. Holding nothing back, Georgia shines a light on how to navigate traumatic times - the importance of hope, building resilience and a positive mindset. Taking Back My Power is more than just a memoir; it's an entire movement.Reality TV star and influencer Georgia Harrison has appeared on Love Island, The Only Way is Essex, Ex on the Beach and The Challenge. Since her very public trial against her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear, she has gained thousands of new fans and supporters around the world, who applaud and support her bravery in what has been regarded as a huge win for women. In navigating what was a deeply challenging period of her life, Georgia has come out stronger, and more resilient than ever, with a real desire to help others. As an ardent campaigner for causes relating to online safety regulations and privacy, Georgia has fought relentlessly to have her message, and those of the people she's standing with, heard to great effect.
