Making Yourself a Priority

Making Yourself a Priority is Shamillah Wilson’s powerful and compassionate guide for activists, change-makers, and anyone struggling to balance self-care with the demands of a world that often glorifies self-sacrifice. Drawing from her own experiences and the wisdom of feminist thought, Shamillah challenges the notion that prioritising oneself is selfish. Instead, she frames it as a radical act of resilience and political defiance. Through practical exercises, reflective insight, and systemic analysis, this ebook offers a roadmap to realigning with your values, setting boundaries, and cultivating sustainable practices for wellbeing, because lasting change begins within.

Radical Imagination

In Radical Imagination, Shamillah Wilson invites readers to break free from the constraints of “what is” and boldly envision “what could be.” Drawing on the wisdom of activists like Adrienne Rich and adrienne maree brown, this ebook challenges the notion that imagination is a luxury; positioning it instead as a vital tool for personal and collective liberation. Through reflective exercises, playful strategies, and stirring personal stories, Shamillah guides us to cultivate hope as a revolutionary act, reclaim joy as resistance, and anchor our dreams in actionable steps. For activists weary of survival mode, this book is a rallying cry to dream bigger, play deeper, and build a future rooted in justice, dignity and limitless possibility.

Embracing Our Emotions

In Embracing Our Emotions, Shamillah Wilson offers a transformative guide for activists, change-makers, and anyone navigating the turbulent waters of emotional labour in a world that often dismisses feelings as weakness. Drawing from Audre Lorde’s wisdom that “our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge,” Shamillah reframes emotions like rage, grief, joy, and fear as vital tools for resilience and resistance. Through personal stories, reflective exercises, and practical tools, this ebook invites you to honour your emotional landscapes, cultivate self-awareness, and harness your full emotional intelligence for sustainable activism. Whether confronting systemic injustice or personal struggles, Embracing Our Emotions is a call to reclaim emotional authenticity — not as a distraction from the work, but as its very foundation. Because healing ourselves is inseparable from healing the world.

Personal growth through archetype work provides tools to help you on your journey to wellbeing and growth.

Signs Your Inner Activist is Calling: How to use your internal Guides to achieve balance and wellbeing

Sometimes we pursue a life “saving” others, and experience disconnection and discontentment as a result. This can be an indication of being disconnected from one’s inner activist.

The focus on the ‘outer’ world has in most of our cases led to a repression and denial of our innate qualities of creativity, intuition, nurturing, strength and wisdom. It is important to acknowledge that every single person has an inner activist that has your ‘greater’ interests at heart. When activated, the inner activist can speak up over the chorus of negative beliefs and attitudes that lead to habits and behaviours that create the reality you experience today.
