When Christine Platt set out on her journey to live with less, she never intended to become The Afrominimalist.
She just wanted to tame the chaos in her closet!
But after struggling with the austerity and whiteness of mainstream minimalism, Christine realized why minimalism often seems unattainable for so many: the emphasis on all-white, barren aesthetics distracts from the practice of living with intention.
And so, she decided to do things her way by curating a life of less influenced by the African diaspora.In The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living With Less, Christine gets right to the heart of how childhood experiences and expectations manifest in adulthood, the delicate dance between needs and wants, and the complicated weight of familial and societal pressures.
A far cry from Konmaried closets, capsule wardrobes, and conspicuous consumption, Christine's brand of “living with less” is more than a decluttering regimen.
Inspired by her personal journey, Christine presents a radical revisioning of minimalism, one that celebrates the importance of history and heritage, and gives you permission to make space for what really matters…your way.“Less is a mindset of expansion, and in The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less Christine Platt gives us a new roadmap to curate the life you've always wanted." —Kate Northrup, author of Do Less and Money: A Love Story "Christine Platt is a natural storyteller.
She invites us to reimagine what we think we know about minimalism, our relationship to our belongings, and what we make space for in our lives.
These four steps will change your life and gently usher you into your own physical and mental space of sweet simplicity." —Rachel Cargle, author of I Don't Want Your Love & Light CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE PLATT:Website: https://www.afrominimalist.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/afrominimalist/Twitter: https://twitter.com/christineaplattFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.p.patrick.1
