Orvana Williams Reflection 5

Once completing this beautiful book written by Wendy Syfret, She dives straight into what looking like change and creating it, and how they are two very different things. Making sure to distinguish the two in case of a topic needing an actual call of justice/rights. With incredibly encouraging methods on how to make realistic and significant change, all put in an easy-to-understand and visually appealing form. I can say that before reading this book by Syfret I thought that what I was doing, for example in terms of standing up for black woman rights was being an activism progressing individual. But after reading her own thoughts on what she feels activism may really look like, there may be a lot more ways that I can put what I’m really fighting for to a greater change in what may be less time if I truly want that change to occur.

As a young adult in such an uncertain world as well as these uncertain times, it gave me hope while also emphasizing injustices both past and current. Hopes that one day the change that we all may be fighting for as indisuiuals or in groups would eventually come about, yet still understanding that this change may not be easy but worth the process. I also learned a lot about earlier groups that have made a significant contribution to the ongoing process of equality. Another significant act of activism surrounding ourselves with others who share the same insight on a change that needs to happen is all the encouragement we may need to be successful in those areas.
I would recommend it in ways if only to offer you a different perspective on your daily life and to promote inquiry into how you can recognize injustice in your personal community.
