In this powerful episode, Charlotte celebrates Black History Month 2025 with an inspiring message for writers and creatives. This year’s theme, African Americans and the Arts, is a call to action for all storytellers to uplift, honour and reflect on the impact of Black voices in literature and beyond.

This episode is more than a celebration. It is a reminder that writers are not just observers—they are cultural curators, educators and changemakers.

In this week’s episode of the Hanaz Writers Podcast, Charlotte explores the beauty and creativity of personal essays, where real life meets literary craft.

More than just school assignments or job applications, personal essays are powerful reflections that use scene-setting, voice, metaphor and structure to turn everyday moments into meaningful stories. Charlotte explains how these essays are not simply about telling what happened, but interpreting experience, discovering insight and shaping emotion into art.

This episode provides both motivation and useful suggestions to help you start writing your own creative essays, whether you are examining a memory, expressing a paradox, or just thinking about a personal truth.

In this week’s episode of the Hanaz Writers Podcast, Charlotte delves into the emotional power and creative depth of memoirs. While often seen as non-fiction, memoirs are in fact a rich and personal form of creative writing.

Memoirs, as opposed to autobiographies, only document a portion of a person's life.  Memoirs blur the distinction between art and fact with their thoughtful tone, well-written dialogue, and imaginative scene setting.  According to Charlotte, memory is a dynamic, individual truth that is influenced by emotion, experience, and interpretation rather than being a set of unchangeable facts.

This episode will teach you how to write honestly, artistically, and purposefully, regardless of whether you are inspired by authors like Michelle Obama, Anne Frank, or Ta-Nehisi Coates or you just feel prepared to share your own story.
