Flip the Tables (The Everyday Disruptor's Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change)

From cultural critic and social impact leader Alencia Johnson comes Flip the Tables—a guide for everyday disruptors ready to find their courage, shake up the status quo, and create a better world from exactly where they are.

We all crave lives of meaning and purpose but figuring out how to start can feel overwhelming. The truth? Your unique gifts and perspectives are needed—right now. It just takes a little courage to tap into them.

In Flip the Tables, Alencia guides readers through three key stages of disruption: 

• Disruption of Self – Break down barriers and confront the fears that hold you back from stepping into your boldest, most authentic self.
• Disruption of Vision – Radically reimagine what’s possible for your life and the world around you.
• Disruption of Community – Use your courage and fresh vision to make an impact—becoming the light needed in a dark world.

Flip the Tables is the playbook for those who want to create change—right where they are. Full of personal stories, real-world examples, and actionable tools, this guide helps readers ignite transformation by starting with their own lives.

Alencia draws from her experiences—overcoming insecurities, fighting for women’s rights, and advising top leaders and four presidential campaigns. Through behind-the-scenes insights and inspiring movements, she shows readers how to live with purpose, joy, and the belief that greatness lies within.

Because the world doesn’t just need disruptors—it needs you.
