Episode notes

Rising Troublemaker is your most recent book that's for young people. You're often associated with enforcing the rules or even making the rules. How do you walk that dynamic? I want parents and teachers to feel like this book supports what they're trying to do which is infuse these young people with confidence, with thoughtful boldness.

Most positive change starts with a challenge to the status quo. But going against the current and speaking up for the right thing can be a challenge–especially if you’re the only one voicing your concerns. Luvvie Ajayi Jones is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and a self-described professional troublemaker. In this episode, Luvvie shares why she’s reclaiming the term “troublemaker”, gives tips on gathering the courage to speak up, and explains why she thinks all of us would benefit from getting a little more comfortable with being uncomfortable.
