How We Show Up: Book Talk with Mia Birdsong

In a divided America, where only a quarter of us know our neighbors, we’ve forgotten the key element that helped us make progress in the first place: community. In her new book, How We Show Up, activist Mia Birdsong shows that what separates us isn’t only the injustices built around race, class, gender, and values, but also our denial that we are interdependent on one another. Through research, interviews, and stories of lived experience, the inspiring author returns us to our inherent connectedness where we find strength, safety, and support. On July 28, Birdsong joined #AspenIdeasHealth for a book talk, with Veronica Chambers of the New York Times, to discuss how we can reclaim family, friendship, and community, in order to achieve a more liberated well-being.
