Let's
Be
The
Change
Does being committed to "change" mean protesting? Voting? Getting a particular degree or a specific job?
​
Maybe, Maybe not.
While those things can be part of our commitment to "change," I believe the truest measure of our commitments to "change" is our lifestyle.
​
According to Gandhi:
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
When we commit to "being" something, we simultaneously commit to the lifestyle that comes with that state of being.
​
So, for me,
being the change, I wish to see
includes a lifestyle of continually challenging, deepening, and expanding my understanding of myself, others, and the world.
This is a full spectrum experience.
And it's liberating!
​
If that's where you are
or where you want to be,
then my content is created
with folks like you,
in mind.
​
Every Sunday,
I send out a new multimedia content journey.
Each journey is based on storytelling.
​
I am telling the story
of the reflections and "work"
I've done within that week alone to be a closer reflection
of the change I want to see in the world.
​
This is not my journey towards perfection;
this is my journey towards
an ever-deepening
commitment to living in alignment
with my deepest values.
I tell those stories through any creative methods that speak to me.
So far, that's meant:
- poetry
-mini-plays
-photography
- a comic strip/cartoon
- a weekly podcast
​
This is not about exploring the theory of Change.
​
The theory of Human Rights.
The theory of Social Justice.
The theory of Decolonizing.
The theory of
ect. ect. ect.
​
This is about exploring
those as lived realities,
because I want to live the Change,
not just talk about it.

If you're looking for...
-
the cliff notes version,
-
White Supremacist "professionalism,"
-
the gloss of social media,
-
colonized decolonizing,
-
keeping it "real" but not REALLY
-
arguments to support the human hierarchy,
-
to avoid discussions that examine
-
trauma,
-
Capitalism
-
White Supremacy
-
Christianity/ Religion

Sex/Sexuality

and personal accountability
-
this content will disappoint.

Everything WE do is intentional, including our word choice. The term "WE The Sojourners" is meant to reflect the complexity of what WE do, how WE approach the world and how much WE are ready for change. Learn more about what WE mean by "Sojourner"
WE all deserve to be in spaces that align with our values and hopes for the world.
​
So, I name these things
to help you determine if my content
is aligned with yours.
​
​
​
I create this content
for an ever expanding community
of folks who are passionate
about improving themselves
and the world around them.
​
​
I create this content
for folks who are
ready, willing and wanting
to explore those subjects
and more.
​
​
And I call those people "Sojourners."
A better world requires us to see ourselves and one another as deliciously complicated.
​
A better world requires us to see ourselves and one another as responsible for using our lives to "be the change, WE wish to see in the world."
