The Courage to Be First: How Movements Begin

Have you ever felt that burning desire to change something in the world but stopped yourself with "Who am I to do this?" Jennifer Dulski's "Purposeful" demolishes this self-doubt with a simple, powerful truth: every significant movement in history began with someone willing to stand alone. Like the first person who starts clapping at a performance, social change requires someone brave enough to be first. This progression from "unthinkable" to "inevitable" resembles a standing ovation effect - beginning with just one person whose courage inspires others until momentum becomes unstoppable. Consider Erdem Gunduz, who in 2013 stood motionless for eight hours in Istanbul's Taksim Square to protest police brutality. His solitary stance gradually attracted hundreds and inspired the viral #duranadam (standing man) movement worldwide. The most significant barrier to taking that first step isn't external - it's not believing in our own capacity to effect change. When facing challenges, we must ask "Why NOT me?" instead of "Why me?" Movements don't require grand gestures to begin - they need committed first steps. Sarah Kavanagh, a Mississippi teenager who became vegan at twelve, discovered brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in Gatorade. Learning BVO contained bromine (also found in flame retardants) and was banned in over 100 countries, she started a petition asking Pepsi to remove it. Despite feeling she lacked authority as a teenager, her petition gathered 17,000 signatures in a month. Less than three months later, Pepsi announced they would remove BVO from Gatorade. Sarah then campaigned against BVO in Powerade, and ultimately both Pepsi and Coca-Cola removed it from all their drinks worldwide.
