Janis 'Imi'ike is reading A Renaissance of Our Own by Rachel Cargle

When Janis isn't reading the latest art book, she's burying her nose in feminist memoirs.

There are breaking points in all our lives when we realise that the way things have been done before just don't work for us anymore, be it the way we approach our relationships, our belief systems, our work, our education, even our rest. For activist, philanthropist and CEO Rachel E. Cargle, reimagining – the act of creating in our minds that which does not exist but that we believe can and should – has been a lifelong process. Reimagining served as the most powerful catalyst for Cargle's personal transformation from a small-town Christian wife to an incisive queer feminist voice of a generation.

Aaron Samuels is reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Aaron enjoys carrying around On the Road and pretending he's read it. But don't worry, he has seen the movie.

On the Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald, and it goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion.
