Hello, friends new and old and anywhere in between.

My esteemed guest this episode is Ryane Nicole Granados, a LA-based writer and educator, and the author of the international award–winning novel The Aves. We’ll dig into the craft and writing, of simultaneously raising a family, of wildly misjudged (and beloved) 80's movies, and into the work of ally-ship and advocacy in a culture shadowed by racism—because parenting IS political. But most importantly, this is a conversation with two kindred spirits about the transformative power of HOPE.
