More Than Alumni: Finding My Tribe of Trailblazers

Cover image from More Than Alumni: Finding My Tribe of Trailblazers
From the original post on Koffeemocha.

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

An alumni gathering leads Kefei to think about community beyond shared origins. He introduces five writers whose work, in his reading, explores career pivots, later-life possibilities, creative change, loss, and renewal.

The recommendations include Jenny Blake, Steven Schlafman, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, Anne Boyd Rioux, and Elizabeth Gilbert. Together they express his wish for Koffeemocha to become a wider conversation among people finding meaning at the edge of a new chapter.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
