Critics Review
Organizer, advocate, and artist Arlene Goldbard’s innovative autobiography is a dazzling chronicle of a life taking down elitism. Goldbard chartered her own autonomous course towards becoming the influential figure that she is in the world of community-based cultural advocacy; she encourages us to do the same, both in how we live and read and learn in our lives, and even in how we engage with her book. - L.M. Bogad (The Progressive Magazine) “A deeply personal, passionate and hopeful account of Goldbard’s educational experience.” - Addison Key (The Daily Lobo)
