Packing a Punch- Layman Style
This was an interesting read and I'm grateful for picking up the material. It outlines how being an "ally" isn't enough- particularly in the current social climate. Hodges explained several very clear differences between the behavior of "allies" and "accomplices"- and how these actions can land with their intended audience. I appreciated how thorough and encompassing the book was, but also for how simply it was written. You don't need to have a base understanding to grab this book- invites others to self learn along the way, for those who need it. Highly recommend.
