This week's episode is a little different. Usually I interview a super-inspiring author, and we dig deep into the themes and issues they explore in their writing. But this week, there is no guest, and it's just me. I wanted to take some time to reflect on the past year, and all the wonderful conversations that have taken place on the show.

The Diverse Bookshelf podcast is now one year old :) With over 40 episodes out in the world, I wanted to sit back and think about the space we've created, what my intention and drive really was, what sort of conversations have taken place, and where we go from here.

I hope you enjoy this slightly different episode, and we'll be back with inspiring interviews soon!

I love to connect with listeners, and LOVE to hear what you think of the show. Connect with me on social media here:
