ABOUT THE BOOK:

KENNY STILLS IS A FORMER NFL WIDE RECEIVER, ACTIVIST, and advocate for social justice. Over a nine-year career in the league, he made his mark not only as a deep-threat playmaker but also as a fearless voice for change. He used his platform to protest racial injustice, standing in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and others to push for systemic reform. His commitment to advocacy extended beyond the field, working with grassroots organizations and engaging in community outreach to create meaningful impact. Despite his success, his journey led him to deeper questions about identity, purpose, and healing. After years of external accomplishments, he turned inward, prioritizing therapy, mindset, and self-discovery. Through personal reflection, psychedelics, and a commitment to mental well-being, he began a transformative path toward inner peace, learning that true fulfillment comes from within. In Still Growing, Still Learning, Still Me, Stills shares his story, one of resistance, redemption, and renewal. He opens up about the highs and lows of his life, the lessons learned through activism, and the importance of prioritizing joy and self-care. His journey is an invitation to others to embrace growth, challenge societal expectations, and find their own path to healing.
