This fall we are excited to be reading the empowering and inspirational story of activist and fashion pioneer Aurora James titled Wildflower: A Memoir! Aurora James' story is not a simple "success story", but an inspiring retelling of how she got to where she is now.

"With community and sisterhood at its center, Wildflower teaches us that against all odds, we can overcome." - Rupi Kaur

Through her struggles and perseverance, she recounts a time street racing cars, struggling with self-confidence, and eventually hitting rock-bottom before changing her view of the world. With this optimism, she founded Brother Vellies which has grown into an award-winning international brand in addition to one of the fastest-growing social justice nonprofits. With the desire never to just "succeed", Aurora James forged new creative paths and hoped to lift others up alongside her, eager to rally the cry for those eager to make a change in their community.

Beginning the week of September 19th, we will be sending out some questions and interesting ideas to think about as you read through the memoir.
