I spent 10 years writing this book for today’s idealists, outsiders, rule breakers, go-getters, and activists.

It's for young people who already know how powerful they are and for ones who need a nudge to discover their strength. I want to inspire them to create a more equitable world, to speak up and question authority, to be proud of who they and follow their heart and to do the right thing, even if it’s unpopular.(less)

Justin Barker shared a quote
YES!
How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong
“Not queer like gay; queer like escaping definition. Queer like some sort of fluidity and limitlessness all at once. Queer like a freedom too strange to be conquered. Queer like the fearlessness to imagine what love can look like, and to pursue it.”14”

“Diligent Prayer for Better Phone Boundaries and Commitment to Self Good spirit May you guide us in better phone boundaries May our commitment to ourselves be rooted in looking away from the bright light of the screen and into the bright light of ourselves May we put the phone down when we want to May we pick it back up when we are ready Good spirit please take away my worry of FOMO Please help me see that the right now in front of me is all the magic I have ever dreamt of, and if it is not lead me back to my commitments and my practice to better do thy will, thy will of looking away from the goddamn phone”
