Editorial Review:

 

"Ultimately, you encounter a woman hurtling through life with a compulsion to ensure nothing goes to waste. Underpinned by generosity, that urgency becomes having time for people—stopping where others walk, engaging where others switch off, learning where others ignore. The stories are amazing. But it’s the lesson that life is best lived in community—that everyone, regardless of race or station, belongs—that makes this a needed invitation to live more curiously and love harder." — IJE NWOKORIE Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Martens
