"A very real book about practical ways to change the world, a little bit at a time.
I don't identify as a changemaker, but I did identify with the fear and discomfort of saying the quiet part out loud…I now feel reassured about making small changes, and a little bit braver about saying the quiet part out loud.

“Healing is slow, but this book offers valuable first steps.
This book calls readers to move with purpose because purpose makes intentional action more possible. Purpose can clarify what is and isn’t our work, who is and isn’t our people and can be an antidote to overwhelm and fear.

"This book met me where I am.
As I zoom out, as my vantage point shifts, as I go deeper - identity begs to evolve. But first within. And that is a confusing journey. This book offered the kind of support and validation that I have learned not to need or even want. It helped enough to influence my inner dialogue…at the right time.
