With her trademark optimism, sass, boldness and search for answers,
across a collection of new and revisited essays, Yassmin Abdel-Magied
explores resistance, transformation, and revolution. Yassmin
Abdel-Magied started out a dynamic, optimistic, naïve, youthful
grass-roots organiser and oil rig worker and without intent, was
suddenly taking on the heft of the Australian political and media
establishment. She left Australia to rebuild a new life, away from
family and friends, and with no employment, in London. In the UK she has
been broadcasting on the BBC, consulting to multinational corporations,
writing for stage and screen, and publishing successful books for young
readers. In TALKING ABOUT A REVOLUTION, a collection of new and
revisited essays, Yassmin explores resistance, transformation, and
revolution. The Private and Public Self', includes essays on her crazy
passions for cars, cryptocurrency and other unexpected things, as well
as the personal challenges and grief around her activism and leaving
Australia.
