From sought-after cultural critic and activist Alencia Johnson comes Flip the Tables, a guide for everyday disruptors who dream of creating a more caring, just, and better world, right where they are. Activism is life-changing. But it starts with identifying our unique gifts, talents, and perspectives--before engaging with the world. By disrupting ourselves first, we gain insights into what blocks us from opportunities to create change, from opening doors and breaking down walls. Once we're living ON purpose, we're ready to see our communities as they are and can become the powerful activists we need to be, bringing light to the darkest areas of our world.
Flip the Tables is a guide for those who want to be disruptors. For people who have been told that they cannot and will not change the world, even though they have something burning in their heart that tells them otherwise. This is a manifesto for people who want to learn how to disrupt the status quo, right where they are, whether it's at their job, in their church, in their community, or anyplace that needs a bit of provoking.
With self-assessments at the ends of chapters and specific ideas for activism,
Flip the Tables shows readers how to make change by starting with their own dreams. Being a changemaker may sound like a lofty goal only attainable by championship athletes or people like Oprah, but the truth is that every single one of us has greatness within us to make the world a better place. Alencia Johnson shares her personal stories of activism--from presidential campaigns to Planned Parenthood events to those people and businesses she serves on a daily basis, she takes readers behind-the-scenes to learn the ins-and-outs of activism.
You can create change right where you are.
Flip the Tables will show you how.
