Get ready for Divine Reads: Summer Book Club! This season, we're diving into We Will Be Jaguars by Nemonte Nenquimo, a powerful manifesto from the heart of the Amazon.

Nemonte, an Indigenous Waorani leader, speaks with fire, clarity, and ancestral strength. She invites us to remember our connection to the Earth, defend sacred lands, and dismantle the colonial systems that sever us from life itself. This is more than just a book—it’s a movement urging us to awaken, remember, and act.
