What I adore about this book is it is a full book expanding on Mariame Kaba’s “Hope is a discipline.” It is a deep breath and then a full conversation about what hope actually looks like in our twisted and hopeless world, and what it means in practice to make hope a discipline. 

It is gorgeous and sits with the contradictions of this world, the importance of coalition building, and the fact that incremental progress is still progress (but not in a limiting, defeatist way - more of a don’t throw the baby out with he bath water when considering change because this work is hard and we need to keep our strength and focus and this is one way to do that). 

This book is a pep talk, a confidant, and a light in the dark. May we all embody the courage this book contains in the days, months, years to come.
