I Was On Courageous Wordsmith!

I had the absolute honor to join author, story mentor, and certified master coach Amy Hallberg on her podcast, Courageous Wordsmith for Episode 38 Perfectly Imperfectly Paradigm Shifts. I love Courageous Wordsmith Podcast because Amy is an expert at having honest conversations that come from the heart, and she approaches whatever subject she encounters with wisdom and bravery. That’s why I was delighted when I opened my email this August to see an invitation from Amy to join her in conversation.

I Evacuated From Minneapolis. This is What I Told My 4-Year-Old.

White people like me need to listen to black people and keep talking to our children about race, justice, and what’s right.
