Introverts will save us (but extroverts gotta help us lol)

Been thinking a lot lately about introverts, their own special kind of power, and the way non-bombastic personalities are / aren’t talked about in media as much, especially after reading last month’s Vanity Fair profile on Jackie Corin, the Parkland student activist you won’t find amassing millions of followers on Twitter or YouTube any time soon.

To be clear, it’s not ~explicitly~ stated that Jackie’s an introvert, but we’re making that call because you can just tell she’s not the David Hogg/Emma González type that media attention has largely focused on. This profile wisely covers how Jackie uses her own slate of talents to become the master logistician and implementer behind so much of the March For Our Lives activism, and it’s as galvanizing for fellow non-spotlight-lovers as it is insightful on what it takes, exactly, to run a movement.

(Also, if you’re craving more introvert content, you gotta read Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, a book that we at Deez Links have dedicated many a peaceful & solitary bedtime mulling over with a cup of tea (we KNOW all you fellow introvs feel us on that)).

Like Deez Links? Forward to the implementers & logisticians & other quiet ones making it work
