No Filters with Christie Watson and Rowan Egberongbe

How can we communicate when things are so painful? How can we connect when generational differences are extreme? How do parents and teenagers, and all of us, have real conversations?
When Rowan was sixteen, she only tolerated communication from her mother in the form of Snapchat. Desperate to be closer to her daughter, Christie sent daily selfies of her face superimposed onto a chicken nugget. It took serious illness for them to finally talk – and truly listen.
Rowan's mental health struggles revealed the chasm between their generations. They started being more honest with each other than they had ever been before: discussing identity, race and gender; opening up about disordered eating and self-harm; navigating the perils of social media.
Chaired by Clover Stroud, join bestselling author Christie Watson and her daughter Rowan Egberongbe for an honest, funny, and moving conversation about mental health, identity, and contemporary issues between a mother and her teenage daughter.
“A book for all parents and teenagers going through a tough time, for friends, grandparents, teachers and healthcare professionals who want to help, its bare honesty will have you laughing – and possibly crying – out loud as it shows that you are not alone.”
