<p class="p1">We’re in luck today! We are joined not only by one powerhouse woman but two, Lily Diamond and Rebecca Walker. These two women joined forces to co-author a book called “What’s Your Story? A Journey for Everyday Evolution.”</p> <p class="p1">First, we will be speaking with Rebecca, she is an American writer, feminist, activist, and you likely know her as the daughter of Alice Walker, author of “The Color Purple.” Rebecca made it her mission to revitalize feminist movements to ensure the fight for women’s rights were heard, she knew when she or other people were not being treated correctly.<br /> <br /> Lily Diamond is our second speaker today. She is a writer, photographer, and advocate for harnessing the power of digital media. Lily is all about democratizing wellness and empowering women through storytelling. Lily began questioning the ideologies and beliefs she grew up with and starting changing those perceptions as she got older.<br /> <br /> Rebecca and Lily have paired together, creating this awe-inspiring book, with the call to challenge the status quo, to think about the way in which we view race & gender, and to think about the way in which we navigate our journeys through the world and offer hindsight regarding who we are as humans.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>IN THIS EPISODE:</strong></p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">[03:08] Rebecca starts off today by revealing which role she took on as a child; rule breaker or rule follower.</li> <li class="li1">[08:25] Lily joins the conversation, divulging her status as a rule breaker or follower as a child.</li> <li class="li1">[12:34] Comparing the meaning of the statement: being a rebel versus challenging the status quo.</li> <li class="li1">[16:46] The story that Rebecca and Lily have created in their book and how they are wanting to be perceived.</li> <li class="li1">[20:31] A moment of awakening in Rebecca’s life began in her early twenties, participating and immersing herself into feminist movements.</li> <li class="li1">[29:31] Lily’s pivotal
