The Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy by Karen Walrond

5.0

This book shines a light that is desperately needed in a time when persistent crises threaten our hope and joy. Karen Walrond illuminates through stories (both her own and those of other well-known activists such as Tarana Burke, Valarie Kaur, and Brené Brown) the necessity of holding onto joy while working for change. The Lightmaker’s Manifesto provides thoughtful and practical exercises on listening for the whispers that motivate and inspire us, finding our light words, and creating a spark statement to guide our actions, keeping our light shining and avoid burning out.

After reading it, I am newly inspired to continue the work I feel called to do, motivated by self-awareness of my values and mission, and energized by practices that will keep me seeking light and joy along the way.
