The Lightmaker's Manifesto
How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy
1 of 1 copy available
Leadership coach, lawyer, photographer, and activist Karen Walrond knows that when you care deeply about the world, light can seem hard to find. But when your activism grows out of your joy—and vice versa—you begin to see light everywhere.
In The Lightmaker's Manifesto, Walrond helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy; identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern; and then put it all together to change the world. Creative and practical exercises, including journaling, daily intention-setting, and mindful self-compassion, are complemented by lively conversations with activists and thought leaders such as Valarie Kaur, Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Zuri Adele. With stories from around the world and wisdom from those leading movements for change, Walrond beckons listeners toward lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction, and joy.
By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn how to become makers of light.

Leadership coach and activist Karen Walrond gives listeners advice on where to direct their passion and how to manage advocacy without feeling overwhelmed. In a strong and steady voice, Walrond explains how to identify abilities, align them with beliefs, and ultimately take action to become an activist. By offering certain practices centered around journaling and mindfulness, individuals are personally guided on how to use their unique altruistic qualities in ways that will spark joy and make a positive impact. There is a journalistic tone in Walrond's narration that adds power and professionalism to her words and makes her message flow clearly and directly. What makes Walrond's proclamation particularly compelling are the conversations she describes with other well-known activists. D.Z. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
