“This book is a masterclass in truth-telling, transformation, and courageous faith. Each chapter connects personal insight to a broader call for justice, reminding us that transformation, though not always easy, is part of answering a higher calling. Through vivid storytelling and raw self-disclosure, Kenny Stills also reveals how inner work translates to meaningful change in the world. This isn’t just a book; it’s a blueprint for rising up with purpose, grounded in service, and an unwavering commitment to our collective humanity.”
—Dr. Rheeda Walker, author of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health
“Kenny Stills, a [former] wide receiver on the Miami Dolphins . . . quietly [became] the on-field face of the movement Colin Kaepernick started in 2016 . . . Stills wants to use his visibility to shine a light on police brutality, economic inequality, and other forms of social injustice.”
—New York Times
“Kenny Stills is not only one of the most hardworking and dedicated athletes of our time, he is also charming, empathic, sensitive, and radically honest. He takes us behind the scenes of professional sports and into the depths of what it means to commit to collective liberation. In this moving memoir, we get a glimpse into how a man is made and never complete—Kenny is still growing and implores us to do the same.”
—Noura Erakat, scholar, activist, and author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine
“Kenny Stills’s ability to walk readers through his personal growth throughout this book is a masterclass in care, honesty, and vulnerability. You will finish reading with fresh inspiration to lean into the beauty of the reality that we’re all still growing.”
—Jess Natale, founder of So Informed
“Stills, who spent nine seasons in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans, feels comfortable that his calls for a more inclusive sport and society helped effect change. He publicly called out Dolphins owner Stephen Ross in 2019 when his plans to host a fundraiser for Donald Trump were revealed . . . He has long been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community . . . Additionally, he was arrested in 2020 outside Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s home while part of a protest calling for Cameron to arrest Breonna Taylor’s killers.”

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. Stills 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, Stills’s 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 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. Includes a twenty-four page full-color insert.
