wrote and published ''Road Map for Revolutionaries: Resistance, Activism, and Advocacy for All'' in September 2018, which provides the resources needed to help you feel safer, more empowered, invested in, and intrinsic to the American experiment. The book is centered around activism and how to support the "greater good" and the "big picture".
