Social Change is Everywhere.
I spent ten years advocating for parents and small business leaders. We set out to give Corporate America a run for their money, and we did just that.
Yay, us.
In the last 12 months I have shifted my advocacy efforts again. I know that I am not the only one who has felt compelled to use my voice for social change. Look around and you’ll see that this modern-day activism is more than a trend. It’s a paradigm shift. We are living in a transformation of astronomical proportions.
All it takes to become an activist is passion, knowledge and a desire to help bring about change.
Identify your gifts and talents that will open the space for new growth. The nation is undergoing a major overhaul and now more than ever there is a need for activists, change makers and social advocates. Positive engagement has impact. Your voice matters.
I ask myself every day, “How can I be better?”
The biggest change makers are not afraid to ask this question. It involves recognizing when your knee jerk reaction to any kind of injustice is getting defensive. If you are too consumed with protecting what you believe belongs to you, or with all of the injustices that are making you a victim, there is a good chance you have closed yourself off to your own power, and your ability to contribute to a better world. Look within. We are never really done growing. If you can change your own life, you have an opportunity to change the world.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
― Mother Teresa

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
