Y'all need to know Tayler Simon of Liberation is Lit.
She's a poet, self-publishing book coach, and the woman behind the brand Liberation is Lit: a movement that to places stories written by BIPOC, queer, and disabled in the spotlight.
She's on a mission, and, in episode 2 we discuss why writing your story in written form is a movement builder, how reading narratives help us be better listeners, and, a favorite topic of mine: how young is too young to write for the movement? Tayler is interested in supporting youth in creative writing and discusses how fiction can be an avenue for folks interested in this movement.
And this, of course, is how I got started, storytelling, in advocating for myself and coaching others.
