HOW TO BE A GOOD BBOY

Blending lighthearted feline charm with actionable advocacy, How to Be a Good Bboy provides an empowering roadmap for overcoming self-doubt and championing equality in your everyday life

Bboy means boy in a very particular form of internet cat-speak. You can pronounce it boy, buh-boy or bee-boy, whatever makes your heart happiest.

Its not always easy to live your life with kindness, but Ellen Murray and her cat Bilbo are doing their best to spread messages of positivity to their followers. As an LGBT+ and disability activist, Ellens goal has always been to make love, care and safety a reality for all – but fighting for your own rights or standing as an ally to others can be daunting, intimidating and confusing work.

How to Be a Good Bboy is an accessible guide to understanding what human rights work is all about: how to get involved, navigate the inevitable pitfalls, overcome imposter syndrome and own your vulnerability and power.

It is about Bilbo, and about Ellen. About her work, and about how Bilbos online presence is not just an accessory to that work but a way to channel the greater goals of her activism to a wider audience. It is about dignity, respect and justice, and ultimately how to be a very good bboy.
