Summary:
"Lessons from activists on working for
change
while holding onto
joy
. Many of us have strong convictions. We want to advocate for causes we care about -- but which ones? We want to
work
for
change
-- but will the emotional toll lead to burn out? Leadership coach, lawyer, photographer, and activist Karen Walrond knows that when you care deeply about the world, light can seem hard to find. But when
your
activism grows out of
your
joy
-- and vice versa -- you begin to see light everywhere. In 'The
Lightmaker
's
Manifesto
,' Walrond helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us
joy
; identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern; and then put it all together to
change
the world. Creative and practical exercises, including journaling, daily intention-setting, and mindful self-compassion, are complemented by lively conversations with activists and thought leaders such as Valarie Kaur, Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Zuri Adele. With stories from around the world and wisdom from those leading movements for
change
, Walrond beckons readers toward lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction, and
joy
. By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn
how
to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn
how
to become makers of light."Jacket.
