    words from manda

   These are some of my favourite things....some of my profoundly inspiring people, books, music,   
   and thoughts. I find more every month; some have sustained me for years. I read them, quote 
   them, ponder them, sing them with ferocious fury or  heart-bustingly happily in the car and  
   scribble all over them. This is how we help each other. By keeping the fires in each others' bellies
   alight and life-affirming. Feel free to watch, read, listen and fire yerself up...

The essence of disruption. Let us never, ever forget our sense of outrage. For that way complacency takes root.

1 Million Women. Genius. I'm one. One of a Million. :)

Let us not forget the sheer, visceral Joy Of Disruption. This just makes me happy from the toes up. Enjoy. :)

If I had to recommend one read to anyone, everyone, it would be this. This is what we sow, and grow, and reap. Unless we decide not to.

A beautiful book of a man simply doing. It stills the heart and fire the belly all at the same time.

Insightful. I think we all need to know more about this...watch out for more on our Cafe Disruptif programme...

Good Trouble : This magazine is just gorgeously right up my street. The sort of think that you look at and think OhMyGod Yes...

This woman sits your arse down on a chair and sets your head on fire. Just watch her once. You'll get what I mean. This is what we should be teaching in our language and literature classes: THIS.
