Influencing a Social Change - podcast

A book is a powerful force. It can inspire and inform. It can help create change in society. Dalya Massachi, author of “Writing to Make a Difference,” discusses three secrets to write a book that influences social change. First, do your research and connect with other change makers fighting for your cause. Find out what information or tool would help them spread their message. Then, write the book that will solve their problem or help them. Second, remember that the community reader always wants to know, "what's in it for my community cause?" Write for your audience. Third, realize that there is a conversation between you and the reader. Creating a personal connection between you and the reader is key in helping to influence social change.

  • Here is a quick copy and paste of the back of my book: The whole question of transgender people is not new in populations across the centuries in every country. Different cultures and beliefs address such people in different ways from exulting them as gifted to debasing them as being possessed of the devil. In her book, At Last! Free to be Me, Robbie Dee addresses the reality of transgender people as viewed and treated by the Christian church in all its forms. She openly testifies of her own life with such amazing transparency and humility, with many riveting true stories, that her discovery as being transgender not only rocked her own life, but her Christian doctrines too. She is fully persuaded that churches that judge and condemn being transgender is misusing scripture in order to follow manmade traditional beliefs, and she exposes these in detail, challenging the church to change. The unique combination of her life as a married man, who became a Christian at the age of thirty after directly encountering Jesus Christ in a most miraculous way, and then became a missionary on three continents; the shock of discovering her true identity some twenty years later in spite of doing all to try and overcome the desire, is truly inspiring. Gifted as a solo violinist Robbie has dedicated her music performing to God and as a testimony that transgender people are to be accepted. She can often be found in and around Tulsa and has performed at Guthrie Green, the BOk Center and many other smaller venues in the past year since her new found freedom. It seems like God is with her as other people’s lives are getting touched. This book is for the general public to help educate them more on the subject of gender identity; for the transgender and LGBTQ community as a whole; and for the body of Christ to bring light and truth on the subject. Recognized as a Hero of Oklahoma, and awarded the Silver medal by the United States coast guard for saving lives, this book is worth reading more than once. Robbie is looking to publish her next book in the coming year as much still is happening in her life.
