It seems people want a manual on "how to change the world." But even deeper than that she gives a voice to 8 young people who are doing just that in their own unique ways. Don't be afraid to fail. Even if changes you are making seem small, if you are using your voice to speak your truth and make positive change in people's lives - Just Do It!

I found myself very torn on this book. There were times I felt inspired and times I felt like I would never be good enough and times I felt that I was already doing the work. It's such a millenial book for millenials about millenials navigating social justice and as such I've had so many of these debates with myself all the time. But it wasn't a big picture about debates or about process, but rather a series of portraits of specific individuals in a much more journalistic manner. A quick read and I learned some things, but I'm not sure on net how I feel about the book.

i recommend this for burned-out social workers/activists. it's engaging and inspiring and occasionally weepy. i got it from the library but i kind of wish i could buy it! and re-read when i'm getting discouraged. (the story about the filmmaker was skip-able, but everyone else's story was SUPER compelling and very much worthwhile.)
