Everyone can be an activist with the guidance of Omkari Williams, a
life coach who guides readers in identifying their "activist archetype"
and mapping a personal action plan for engaging in small, change-making
activities with potentially big impacts.
In this age of social
justice, those who don't necessarily want to lead a movement or join a
protest march are left wondering, "How can I make an impact?" In Micro Activism, former
political consultant turned activism coach Omkari Williams shares
her expertise in empowering introverts and highly sensitive people to
help each of us, no matter our temperament, find our most satisfying and
effective activist role. Using Williams's Activist Archetype tool,
readers discover their unique strengths and use this to develop a
personal strategy. To ensure sustainable involvement, Williams
encourages starting small, working collaboratively, and beginning
locally. Advice on self-care practices, burn-out prevention, and
profiles of activists engaged in a range of activities and causes (from
voter registration to craftivism, literacy programs, community gardens,
and more), provide readers with the inspiration and
practical know-how needed to engage in small, doable actions that make a
lasting impact. (35)
