A powerful memoir revealing the journey of an Indigenous woman who defied systemic injustice in the nonprofit sector, confronting retaliation while advocating for equity and survivor-centered care, inspiring others to reclaim their voices and fight for justice.
Unquiet Still: A Native Woman's Fight for Justice in the Nonprofit World chronicles Lori Apodaca's remarkable ascent as a leader in domestic violence advocacy. As a trauma survivor and seasoned nonprofit executive, Lori's commitment to community-rooted care led her to expand vital services and create a culture centered on survivors' needs. However, her efforts to challenge entrenched systems of white fragility and harm sparked a backlash that manifested in coded performance reviews and microaggressions.
In this gripping narrative, Lori shares her experiences with unflinching honesty and poetic intensity, illuminating the struggles faced by those who dare to speak out against injustice. Unquiet is not just a memoir; it serves as a powerful manifesto for anyone who has faced punishment for standing up for what is right. Lori's story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the transformative power of truth-telling.
Through her journey, readers will find inspiration to confront their own challenges and reclaim their narratives. Unquiet Still invites you to witness the high cost of leadership and the profound impact of advocating for equity in spaces often resistant to change. This compelling account resonates with anyone who has ever felt silenced or marginalized, encouraging a collective movement toward justice and healing. Join Lori Apodaca as she takes back the pen and empowers others to do the same, forging a path toward a more equitable future.
