It's time to get Beyond Karen. The Meme. 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. Can we call in the hungry ghost neuroses in America (and her media) as we seek more equitable and balanced representation? Can white-minded people fully feel their own sadness, anger, and fear without seeking a victim to oppress, blame, or rescue? 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 is the promise for readers and those who accept the challenge to @gobeyondkaren. Willard-Ribeiro dives into root forces of class, capitalism, media bias, and notions of security, defensiveness, and perfectionism 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.
