A Flamethrower on the Roof: An Essay on the Radical Act of Supporting Women's Safety

Welcome to this extra edition of Find Your Colors. I am Jeff B. White and I am the author of The Shards of Color Trilogy.This space is about finding your inner colors and shining your light unapologetically. There is no set of colors more beautiful and no light brighter than that of the flames we ignite when we set the old systems ablaze and burn them away.Let's DiscussI am so interested to hear from my readers on this topic.To the women, if you don’t mind sharing, what are some ways that the men who do care can become stronger allies in your struggle for equitable treatment?To the men, your opinion on this matters, too. So if you do not mind speaking up... Actually, no I’m joking. Our opinions on this do not matter. Just be quiet for once, Kevin. Listen to the women and let them tell us what needs to be done. Then do it.What's Next?Next week we will be back to the regularly scheduled program where I will be providing a further breakdown of the next chapter of BLUSH BORN. I will be sharing the text of Chapter 9 Loss of Color.In the breakdown, we will be discussing how often moments in which we experience the most profound loss can be the same moments that define who we become, and in turn, can be the most empowering.Join the MomentFind Your Colors is a reader supported publication and a listener supported podcast. This is a moment and a movement for those who have been called too different, who have been told that they are too loud, and who have been made to feel as if they are too much so they are afraid of taking up space that is too big.
