Publisher's summary

From sought-after cultural critic and social impact leader Alencia Johnson comes Flip the Tables, a guide for everyday disruptors to find their courage, disrupt the status quo, and create a better world, right where they are.

Most of us want our lives to have meaning and purpose, but too often we don’t know where to start. Each of us has unique gifts, talents, and perspectives that the world needs right now. We just have to find the courage to realize what they are. By disrupting ourselves first, we gain insights into what blocks us from opportunities to create change, from opening doors and breaking down walls. Once we're living ON purpose, we can step into a life that boldly challenges the world around us. Only then can we become a powerful catalyst for change. We are the light needed in a dark world, and that begins with shining our own.

Flip the Tables is a guide for those who want to be disruptors. For people who have been told that they cannot change the world, even though they know otherwise. This is a manifesto for people who want to learn how to be visionary change makers, right where they are, no matter who you are.

Alencia Johnson shares her personal stories—from working through insecurities and overcoming adversity, to advocating for women’s rights at Planned Parenthood, and including advising presidential campaigns. She also dives into stories of powerful movements and people—known and unknown—who’ve challenged the way we think and show up in the world. Alencia takes readers behind-the-scenes to learn the ins-and-outs of living a purposeful and impactful life, embracing joy every step of the way. With self-assessments at the end of each chapter and actionable ideas to implement now, she shows readers how to create change by starting with their own dreams.

Being a changemaker may sound like a lofty goal but, the truth is, the world is waiting for the greatness in every one of us. You can create change right where you are. Flip the Tables will show you how.
