About this episode

The episode discusses pleasure activism and its role in making social justice a fulfilling experience.

Today's episode is a reading from an essay I originally wrote for The New Quo Learning Community where stories and practices of courage are curated for members who challenge conformity by choosing courage in their daily lives. This essay is titled Pleasure Activism which is a review of an incredible book by adrienne maree brown that asks the question How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? And How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? It's a politics and practice of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work.
