ijeomaoluo.bsky.social @ijeomaoluo.bsky.social · 18/02/2025But today the paperback version of Be A Revolution launched and I'm SO EXCITED to say that my chapter on conflict is back! I got a copy in the mail and read that chapter again and literally cried, I love it so much 1280 0
ijeomaoluo.bsky.social @ijeomaoluo.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I was really heartbroken by this choice, because I loved that chapter and knew that it was important. My agent promised that we'd be able to get it to the world one day. In the year since publish date, I've seen conflict destroy so many vital movement efforts. I've regretted that cut even more. 160 0
ijeomaoluo.bsky.social @ijeomaoluo.bsky.social · 18/02/2025With Be A Revolution, I already knew I was going way past that word count, because it's just too big an idea for so few words.

ijeomaoluo.bsky.social @ijeomaoluo.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Great question! This year has definitely radicalized me further, but it's also brought me closer to the heart of the book as our systems become more oppressive. Now we need to fight for each other & care for each other more than ever. But I would add that disruption is a vital part of revolution 1163 0
ijeomaoluo.bsky.social @ijeomaoluo.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Imagine calling yourselves abolitionists & then cackling about the "punishment" you think immigrants & Palestinians deserve.
