ATLANTA, May 19, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Though events of social injustice typically magnify matters that provoke division, it can also catalyze individuals to go beyond their comfort zone in pursuing solutions for change. Terence Lester, founder of nonprofit Love Beyond Walls equips people with tangible tools to confront society's most complex issues in new book, "When We Stand: The Power of Seeking Justice Together", now available at book retailers nationwide.

Throughout the country, people are overwhelmed by continuous reports of civil unrest, racial discrimination and micro aggressions, gender inequality, natural disasters and a global health pandemic. Challenging social justice fatigue, Lester takes readers on a journey to discover purpose and the necessity of community.

"Social injustices must be fought by a community of people that comprises not only those who are directly impacted by also those who stand in solidarity with them," says 'When We Stand' author, Terence Lester. "Our collective effort to change this world for the better requires us to stand up to fear as well as cultivate and harness our ability to work together to bring about change."

In the book, 'When We Stand,' Terence introduces the intersectionality of empathy and embracing proximity with one another as a philosophy that undergirds society to overcome the challenges the world is facing. The book moves readers past emotional withdrawal, offering practical ways to accomplish greater work together in solidarity as allies.

In accompaniment to the book, Terence will release the "Find Your Why" docuseries independently produced by his nonprofit, Love Beyond Walls. The 4-part series challenges the viewer to go deeper into their existing relationships and build new perspectives while discerning how to lean into social issues as a catalyst for finding purpose. The docuseries features Grammy award-winning artist, Lecrae; founder of Plywood People, Jeff Shinabarger; music recording artist, Tedashii; Nikole Lim of Freely in Hope and notable community influencers sharing their insight and experiences to discover their "why."
