Uprising (Diamond and Silk book)
Uprising: Who the Hell Said You Can't Ditch Your Job and Live Your Dreams? is a non-fiction book co-authored by Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk), known as the conservative political commentary duo Diamond and Silk. Published in 2020, the book presents a combination of personal anecdotes, political commentary, and self-help advice.
The book details Diamond and Silk's journey from Democratic voters to outspoken supporters of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. They attribute this shift to their disillusionment with the Democratic Party and their perceived alignment with Trump's policies and messaging.
Uprising covers a range of political topics, including illegal immigration, the media, and the importance of individual responsibility. Diamond and Silk share their perspectives on these issues, often employing provocative language and challenging mainstream narratives.
Beyond political commentary, the book aims to inspire readers to pursue their dreams and break free from conventional career paths. Diamond and Silk share their own experiences of leaving their jobs to pursue their passion for political commentary, encouraging readers to take risks and pursue their own definition of success. The book advocates for self-reliance, hard work, and a rejection of societal expectations.
