<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's time to get Beyond Karen. The Meme.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>You know 'Karen'... you've seen her losing it in the store or at the park, screaming rude epithets at innocent clerks and bird-watchers. We name these middle-aged white women 'Karens' to shame them for acting out their racist or political rage and fears in public. And then we flame them on social media. Children are shaming 'Karens' on TikTok for fun</strong>. </p><p><br></p><ul><li>Can we call in the hungry ghost neuroses in America (and her media) as we seek more equitable and balanced representation?</li><li>Can white-minded people fully feel their own sadness, anger, and fear without seeking a victim to oppress, blame, or rescue? </li></ul><p><br></p><p>Former banker and politician, climate defender and coach Karen (yes, really) believes that compassion, not recreational "stoning," could be what brings Karens out of the arms of the Patriarch and its narcissistic expectations. Exploring the overgrowth of centuries of "isms" while celebrating the art of feeling intense emotion</strong> is the promise for readers and those who accept the challenge to @gobeyondkaren.</p><p><br></p><p>Willard-Ribeiro dives into root forces of class, capitalism, media bias, and notions of security, defensiveness, and perfectionism</strong> in order to emerge, through a compelling offering of personal experiences, with a heart-centered hopefulness for the more perfect state of union America needs right now-at home and in the marketplace.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Timely! A voice that needs to be heard. Karen shines a light on a very sticky web - how the divisiveness of our country serves the misogynistic and racist systems in place - and how we need to not cancel on one another but to breathe in the pause and speak with compassion and truth." </p><p> Arianna Alexsandra Collins, <em>Hearken to Avalon</em></p><p><br></p><p>Beyond Karen is a must read for the middle-aged woman and all who want to break free of the tyranny of domination myths, whether you are more worried about entitled Karens or your Inner Karen planning a counterattack. Beyond Karen is a recipe for reflection - with just the right mix of humility, grief, suffering, hope and humor to crack open the hearts and minds of all Karens (and Kens). </p><p> A recovering Karen</p><p><br></p><p>Your book gives me hope that deeper conversations might possible and we can go behind the meme and recognize-so we can heal-deep divisions that have been manufactured by a society that has a vested interest in maintaining the toxic status quo. Most of all I resonated with your take on the way the Karen phenomenon has been used as one more way to demean women's voices without first reflecting on the societal and personal conditions that can cause a woman to react in a particular way.</p><p> Tzivia Gover, The Mindful Way to a Good Night's Sleep</em></p><p><br></p><p>Quite a book I must say. It gives me great hope that the third generation of feminists are willing to tackle the complicated and layered issues of American culture. Not easy but definitely necessary.</p><p> Carolyn Muzzi</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
