This event is hosted by Life is a Sacred Text, co-sponsored by EducateUS.
This session with visionary, legendary organizer and activist Mariame Kaba, author of We Do This ‘Till We Free Us and other books, helps participants identify their most sustainable and effective role in social change—not based on what feels most urgent or visible, but on what actually fits their skills, capacities, relationships, and lived realities. This will involve an overview of the various roles that people play in movements; looking at the ways in which our identities, skills; capacities; and contexts shape each of our possibilities; discerning between urgency-driven action and sustainable contribution; looking at shifting roles over time so as to prevent burnout.
