Join us for Fierce Love Book Launch Events!
We are living in what Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis calls “hot mess times”: a world divided by politics, race, intolerance, fear, and rancor. But her own experience—of of being a woman in a traditionally male domain, of being in an interracial marriage, of making peace with childhood abuse—demonstrates that our human capacity for empathy, compassion, and forgiveness is the key to reversing these ugly trends.
It is from these personal experiences that Jacqui draws from in her new book, Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World, releasing this fall. The book gives readers a renewed sense of the power they have to create caring communities; to stand up for the vulnerable; and to change our shared story from one of anxiety, anger, and divisiveness to one of mindfulness, compassion, and unity.
We invite you to join us at these events in the coming months, to hear Jacqui speak about the new book. Reserve your copy of Fierce Love today! (Psst: If you purchase a season ticket for this year’s Freedom Rising Salons, you’ll receive a complimentary copy in addition to 10 months of incredible virtual programming.)
