Kat Calvin & Omkari Williams

Kat Calvin and I both wrote books! Kat's is American Identity In Crisis: Notes from an Accidental Activist. Mine is Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World (Without a Bullhorn).

When we realized that our books were coming out within weeks of each other we thought that we should have a conversation about them and the work we do in the world.

Kat's work is getting the 26 million Americans who don't have ID the state issued ID that they need to do things like get a job, a home, a bank account, you know, little things like that. Mine, if you don't know, is getting folks to engage in micro activism, tiny actions that add us to big changes.

In this conversation we not only talk about serious things but we also laugh, a lot. I loved this conversation and I think you will too.

Definitely, buy both our books. They are really good! We did not write them together, though the covers do coordinate beautifully and the themes do have a lot of crossover. Holiday gifts, yeah!!!

Have you met Kat?
