Thank you for this boost Ayana, I read the book (gobbled it up really and wrote all over it) in the lead up to the election and have been feeling crushed since the results came out. But - the work continues and I keep reminding myself that we already have all the tools we need to make progress on climate - it's my personal refrain. Now figuring out how I fit in and can help connect the dots. Onward.
Thank you, I needed this! Amazing when words can be both gentle and powerful. I speak to my people about the need to find more of our people. The work continues.

Thank you for showing up with wisdom. It really means a lot! This the kind of thing we need to be hearing, and it makes me want to support your community more :)
Thanks for a good read! We need revolutionary energy solutions in order to save our planet. Oil, coal, gas and the likes are simply stone age technologies.
As a long-term investor, I see this as a powerful metaphor for both life and investing. Just as markets reward consistency and patience over time, so too does progress in any endeavor. The future isn’t shaped by those who sit on the sidelines watching — it’s built by small business owners taking risks, students learning and growing, and citizens actively participating in shaping their communities. Every small step compounds over time, just like a solid investment portfolio.
Take breaks when you need to, but remember that the real results come from persistence. Staying engaged, bringing others along on the journey, and consistently showing up — that’s how transformative change happens. Just like in investing, the key is not to time the market but to spend time in it. We all have a stake in the future; let’s keep investing in it together.
