You can change a character's hair color, geography, age, or gender, but often what inhibits our voice is a concern that we'll offend someone we know. A parent.  A sibling.  A school mate. 

So, what do we do?  We whitewash the truth. Or we avoid writing our story altogether. 

On today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore:

• 3 reasons you need to tell your story
• Why secrets need to be unloaded
• The power of compassion for yourself and yes, even for your oppressors
• How to own your side of the truth
