Rock Your Stripes is a frank, fierce, full-arse femoir; part insightful memoir, infused with feminism, lively spirted, deliberately confronting, and purposefully instructional. An experienced leader, change champion, mentor, proud feminist, and facilitator of ElevateHER - Lean In circles, Jilinda's book bares her passion and personal mission to encourage women to: step up bravely, stand out boldly, and speak up brilliantly.
Adopted as a baby, Jilinda tells of her awakening at age 7 to see life as a blank canvas; a chance to create her own unique, colourful journey. Bursting out from belittling confines, she embraces individualism, makes brave changes, and boldly disrupts the `play-it-safe' conservative conformists. She shares the valuable learnings gained along a zigzag pathway of continually advocating for what is right, fair, equal in choice and rich in opportunity.
Jilinda's core message throughout the book is:
"Don't half-arse your way through life ... choose to be your full-arse version."
PURPOSE OF BOOK:
