サマリー
あらすじ・解説
I’ve been writing personal essays for over a decade, and I believe that my personal essay practice allowed me to leave social media.
So in today’s episode, I share how I blend the personal, the poetic, and the political in my writing. And I unpack how that supports me in speaking up and sharing my work without shying away from what’s happening in the world.
I hope this episode inspires you to share your writing with the people. Tune in to learn about—
- The importance of your life story
- How to share your political values
- Facing fear when we don’t know what to say
- Being willing to get it wrong
- Why you should choose a container for your writing
- How personal essays can help you leave social media
