Telling Black Women's Stories across Platforms with Rebecca Carroll 53:21

منذ 12 weeks53:21

53:21

This is our last episode of Season 4! On episode 46 of the podcast, I am so excited to share my conversation with Rebecca Carroll, whose new book, I Know What the Red Clay Looks Like: The Voice & Vision of Black Women Writers ( Haymarket ) was re-released on December 3, 2024. Rebecca is a writer, cultural critic, and host of the podcasts Come Through with Rebecca Carroll and the award-winning Billie Was a Black Woman . Her 2021 memoir, Surviving the White Gaze , where she shares her experiences about growing up in New Hampshire as a Black adoptee with white parents, was called “gorgeous and powerful” by the New York Times Book Review. During our conversation, Rebecca shares why she calls herself a storyteller rather than a writer; she offers advice on writing difficult memoirs with compassion; and then we dig into the incredible work that is, I Know What the Red Clay Looks Like , a collection of interviews with famous Black women writers including June Jordan, Pearl Cleage, Rita Dove, and Lorene Cary, among others. First we talk about how Rebecca wrote the book as a young twenty-something just out of college, and then we discuss how she got the book reissued 30 years later, with up-and-coming authors like Safiya Sinclair adding their voices to the collection. Stick around until the end of the episode to hear how you can win a free copy of Red Clay.

Write Yourself Into History with Arturo Schomburg 34:58

منذ 13 weeks34:58

34:58

On episode 45 of the podcast, I’m giving you a pep talk about writing as resistance. About how you can push back against oppressive systems, defy stereotypes and limitations, and leave a lasting legacy, all with the power of the written word. And I will be using the life and work of literary ancestor, Arturo Schomburg as my source material. Arturo Schomburg is most known as the founder of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City, but he was also a writer, a revolutionary thinker, and activist, who used books and the written word to defy white supremacy and glorify Black excellence and achievement. During the show you’ll learn: How one racist teacher in Puerto Rico gave Schomburg his life purpose. How Schomburg used other people’s racism to help amass his incredible collection of Black memorabilia. Why Schomburg became a writer and a collector of the written word. Why sometimes it’s necessary to tear down other people’s heroes to make a point. If you’d like to read more about the fascinating life and work of Arturo Schomburg, get your hands on a copy of Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg by Vanessa K.

How We Fight White Supremacy with Journalists Akiba Solomon & Kenrya Rankin 1:04:41

منذ 14 weeks1:04:41

1:04:41

As much as it pains me to write this, I decided now is the right time to revisit this episode of the podcast featuring two dynamic journalists, Akiba Solomon and Kenyra Rankin. Akiba and Kenrya are the co-authors of the book, How We Fight White Supremacy . How We Fight White Supremacy was published in 2019, at the tail end of the first Orange Dust presidency and it was a balm for the soul. The book is an anthology of essays, illustrations, comics and stories about how to fight white supremacy without losing your life or your sanity. I’m so sad that I have to pull this episode out of the archives for round two, but I am also relieved to have it as a valuable resource for my audience of BIPOC scribes. During the episode, not only do we have an excellent conversation where Kenrya and Akiba break down the different ways writers and regular folks can fight white supremacy, but they also share very candidly how they got a book deal from a major publisher for a book that unapologetically centers Black resistance and revolution. If you’re a nonfiction writer, who writes about social justice issues, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. If you’re looking for more inspiration and information to optimize your writing life, visit the Reed, Write, & Create website .

The Other Americans was a finalist for the National Book Awards. Laila is the author of several award-winning novels including, The Moor's Account and Secret Son .

Would You Give Up Your Freedom to Be a Writer? Meet Sor. Juana Inés de la Cruz, Mexico's First Feminist Writer and Nun 31:43

منذ 22 weeks31:43

31:43

On episode 37 of the 'Reed, Write & Create' podcast, you’re getting a pep talk about what can happen when we truly commit ourselves to our writing life. And I am using the life and work of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a renowned 17th-century Mexican nun, as my source material. Be clear, Sor Juana was no ordinary nun. She was a renegade and a revolutionary who used #NunLife to create the literary life she desperately desired. Sor Juana, known for her poetic prowess, and advocacy for the education of women, gained fame through her literary salons and social commentary, despite facing societal and church opposition. Her writings, which spanned poetry, plays, and social critiques, continue to inspire today, and she is a pivotal literary figure we can all learn from and admire. I know this episode and the legacy of Sor Juana will inspire all of you BIPOC writers to pick up your pens and create new narratives that can change the world. If you want to read a full biography about Sor Juana, check the biography by Octavio Paz called, Sor Juana. If you’d like to read a lovely collection of Sor Juana’s most popular poems and writings, including her feminist manifesto, try this collection titled, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz . Read one of Sor Juana’s most popular poems in translation, “ You Foolish Men.” The meaning behind this poem still rings true today.
