In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with A’Ja Lyons PhD, student, poet, and storyteller, as they explore the magic of place and how land and family ties effect people years and generations later. They dig into the need to write carefully about regions, as well how getting away from certain places can make it easier—or harder—to write those stories.

A’Ja also turns the tables and asks Aubrey about her own writing and favorite authors to read before they bond over how they’ve used writing to process personal loss.

So settle into a conversation that begs listeners to get outside and to be more empathetic readers. Enjoy this time spent with Aubrey and A’Ja Lyons.
