In this episode, renowned speaker, nationally acclaimed educator and former debate coach at Harvard University, Brandon P. Fleming discusses his memoir, “MisEducated,” (Hachette, 2021). Brandon, who earned his MFA in 2021 and worked primarily with the program’s mentor Pat Thomas, shares the inspirational story of his transformation from a delinquent, drug-dealing dropout to an award-winning Harvard educator – all by the age of 27. In this show, Brandon talks about how and why it’s so important to tell the truth when writing a memoir, as well as navigating family members who not only question why you’re sharing the story but also may not appear in the best light.
