In A Renaissance of Our Own, Rachel Cargle details the seminal event that put her on the national map-her viral 2017 Women's March appearance that thrust her into the national conversation on feminism and allyship-and how she soon woke up to the fallacies of a movement she had believed in. Discovering and unpacking the white-washed lies she'd been fed about intersectional "solidarity," Cargle's awakening, although painful and seismic, gifted her the opportunity to see the world through a new lens. A Renaissance of Our Own serves as a reminder of the power and possibility of reimagining, to be an engine for critical learning, radical empathizing, and intentional action, an example of the ways in which a life can manifest when higher values are centered, ones that authentically reflect the way you want to exist in the world-and the world you want to shape for yourself and your community.
