The crowdfunding campaign we are running for The Price We Pay — the novel being released on Path To Publishing’s traditional publishing imprint, PTP Press — is much more than a book. It is a movement to cultivate LEADERS who are not content to allow racial divisions to grow unchecked and who are willing to take action to help us change the conversation around race relations.
Being LEADERS takes courage. It takes courage to be the first to start something. Our supporters are LEADERS who will be standing on the front lines, facing the opposition from those who don’t yet understand the vision as well as those who have a vested interest in perpetuating racial divisions.
By joining with us in our work to change the conversation around race relations, they are taking a social risk, and we intend to honor that risk. That’s why we are pledging to our supporters that our service to them will not stop with a book.
We will support them in organizing communities and book clubs. We will keep them updated with inside information about the book’s progress, media and author interviews that they can share with their followers, as well as access to the following resources:
- Magnetic Thought Leadership Training to equip them to lead these conversations in a way that creates an inviting, respectful space where all voices are recognized and seen as being of equal value.
- Lessons in how to hold difficult conversations that are productive and meaningful where both sides feel respected and heard, yet challenged and encouraged to find room for compromise.
- A Study Guide to navigating the challenges of discussing sensitive topics in an inter-racial community.
- A community of like-minded individuals who are ready and willing to lend their support and encouragement along the way.
This training and the experiences of becoming LEADERS will offer lifelong value going far beyond the price of the book.
