With a 4.6-star rating from over 400 readers, it blends inspiring stories and practical advice to help professionals create meaningful, lasting connections beyond traditional norms. ## Description From Black Lives Matter to the ongoingWomen's Marches, we have had some powerful moments over the last decade that have galvanized and created new, but brief, feelings of community. Many of us, however, haven't figured out how to spark that feeling on our own, or how to build off or sustain those moments. Many of us are longing for a kind of sugar-borrowing and stoop-sitting closeness we imagine existed in the 50s. Maybe we even grew up in that environment, but we moved away from home for love, work, or adventure and we don't know how to recreate it in a new place. What so many of us are missing is the closeness that connects us and make us feel like we belong to a community.In How We Show Up, community visionary Mia Birdsong delivers a modern, timely understanding of what true, authentic family and community can look like--outside of the 2-parent, 2.5 kids norm we all have in our heads. Today we have more single parents, couples who raise children outside of marriage, and more people growing older alone. Tackling topics like creating safe spaces, creativity in community, raising children in community, and more, How We Show Up is the antidote to the social fractures we face in our nation today. By sharing stories and actionable advice, and taking cues from marginalized communities--people of color, women, LGBTQ--Mia Birdsong offers us the blueprint we need to build true community wherever we are. Review: Excellent Book on Community for All - This book turned out to be my best read in 2024. I LOVE how Mia Birdsong deep dives community and its importance, particularly within a multiculturally affirming lens. I heard her on a meditation podcast and am hooked. The book reads like you're talking to your super smart best friend and she gave me many ideas on how to build not only diverse communities in my life but also different types of communities like friends who are family, maybe a women only bookclub and more. I love books that show me a new voice and teach me things and this book did all of the above. I love a new perspective on an old topic and for me Maya Birdsong brought the topic of community to life in a 2025 context. 10/10 stars, best read of the year Review: "our work is to become more aware of what's already there" - "...our work is to become more aware of what's already there and peel back the delusion of separateness to reveal our interdependence." - Mia Birdsong in the final pages of How We Show Up This book was highly recommended to me by a friend. I wasn't familiar with the author and hadn't heard of the book prior, but I'm so glad I listened to her recommendation and read it. Mia Birdsong weaves together stories of people from a variety of backgrounds along with her own experiences to reveal optimistic and regenerative ideas about what's possible when we lean into our interdependence. Particularly if you're feeling overwhelmed and burnt out by these divided times that we find ourselves living in, I highly recommend this book as inspiration for what a brighter future could look like. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 665,503 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4,037 in Cultural Studies 21,163 in Psychology & Psychiatry 41,594 in Health, Family & Lifestyle Self Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 433 Reviews | ## Images ![How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zAjTBz-FL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book on Community for All *by K***Y on 28 April 2025* This book turned out to be my best read in 2024.

It highlights how far from true community many of us have come following the American Dream and it‘s stereotypical goals of two parent family, two kids, two cars and a fence around this nuclear family. It highlights action pints through personal stories while also informing in a more academic way on societal matters.
