Our modern-day polarized world requires civil leaders who care deeply about understanding the people they serve. If you are worried about the state of the world, you have surely wondered how we might solve today’s biggest problems, such as climate change, or the global refugee crisis. Imagine leaving your house this morning and driving to work. Your route usually takes you over a bridge, but when you get to that spot, you discover the bridge has collapsed! What would you do? Bridges are meant to connect us, to help us surmount obstacles.
Great leaders use their civil power to create change by serving as bridges for others. It takes courage to do this, and I want to share with you the experiences I have had in my years of being a bridge for others to empower you to be a better civil leader.
Warning! This book is not for the mediocre. If you are not ready to act and enhance your civil power, please continue to educate yourself, and this book and the community it will serve will be waiting for you when you are ready.
Endorsements:
”Edafe has one of the most riveting and inspiring voices I’ve heard. When it comes to immigration politics, to LGBTQ politics, to human rights, and to basic human decency, we all could serve to learn something by listening to Edafe. Pay close attention to him - I’m sure there are many more great things to come.” (John Washington, journalist, translator, activist author of The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexico Border and Beyond)
Why I write this book: “I wrote this book in response to the current polarization of our society and the feeling of hopelessness I was hearing from people writing to me and asking me what they can do,” said author Edafe Okporo. “I decided not to stay quiet when I have tangible experience in supporting people in need and fighting for minority rights. I decided to share some practical advice and guide people in their decision making processes to create a more compassionate world.”
