12. Mentor Me Monday with Lang Leav
Modern creative voices are finding a fresh platform to share their work thanks to social media. Today's guest is testament to the positive side of these content platforms and proof that poetry isn't a dying art form! Lang Leav is a novelist and poet with a brand new collection of work just released this month called September Love. She writes about love, loss and female empowerment and in today's conversation she is candid about the reality of sharing her work online in a digital age and the pressure that come's from having migrant parents.
Our conversation was recorded on zoom so there's a few glitches but you'll really enjoy this episode as we cover a variety of topics from The Crown to a childhood mishap of cutting up family photographs in order to give her dad a 'haircut'!
