What to expect

‘Make It Happen reminds us that people of any age can create change in their communities. From finding allies to setting goals, everyone who wants to contribute to a better future can learn from Amika's book.’ Malala Yousafzai

Now, more than ever, we know that the world needs to change.

And you can be the one to make it happen.

As a teenager, Amika George successfully launched a campaign that pushed the UK government to fund free period products in every school across England.

Featuring interviews with world-renowned activists, Make It Happen is her essential and inspirational guide to being an effective activist. From finding your crowd and creating allies to getting those in positions of power to listen, using social media to build a community and protecting your mental health while campaigning, Amika shows you how to create real and lasting change in your world.
