So I just need more people
to feel the obligation
to also make the good trouble,
so the one person who's always
doing it can take a rest.
WPR: I mean, it sounds like
a big part of this
is understanding yourself, right?
Is understanding the sorts of things
you want to go after.
And we have an anonymous question
where somebody asks,
"I think being a troublemaker
also requires us
to identify what we truly want.
What's your advice on
finding out what you want?"
LAJ: Yeah, I think it's important to know
what your core values are
and what the thing
that you will fight for is,
which is why I started the book
with a chapter called "Know Thyself."
That was important because we have
to be doubly clear on who we are,
what we hold dear, why we are who we are,
because it's what's going to inform
what we want to speak up about.
It's what's going to inform
what drives us to fight.
It's what's going to inform
the why of it all.
It's what pushes you past the fear
to say, "I have to do this anyway."
So if you're not clear about who you are
and what's important to you,
you're going to find it hard to know,
