This is not a Corona virus related Meltingpot Minute. On episode 31, host Lori L. Tharps has a quick something to say about the misuse (or is it abuse) of the word multicultural. Businesses, marketers, podcast hosts and your friend Karen, are all using the word multicultural to describe anything that's not white. And that's not fair. Nor is it accurate.
Listen in for this quick lesson/rant where Lori breaks down what multicultural really means and why we should care that people are hiding behind the multicultural label instead of standing up for their own cultural communities. It's a Meltingpot Minute you don't want to miss.

Stop Mis-Using the Word Multicultural!: A Rant

If you are a BIPoC writer, Reed, Write, & Create, is the podcast you need to stay motivated and inspired to write.

Award-winning author, educator, and creative writing coach, Lori L. Tharps ( ”Hair Story,” ”Kinky Gazpacho,” and ”Substitute Me”) knows how hard it is to stay committed to your writing projects  - whether you’re working on that debut novel, a gut-wrenching memoir, or an essay about your trip around the world. Writing can be your passion, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Even if you’re a seasoned author.

On the show, Lori is here to serve as your creative-writing coach and she wants to help you tap into your divine right to write. You’ll get inspiring pep talks and literary life lessons based on the lives of our BIPoC literary ancestors. Think Toni Morrison, Lorraine Hansberry, Phillis Wheatley e.t.c. You’ll also hear inspiring interviews with contemporary, best-selling, BIPoC authors who share actionable writing tips and techniques to help improve your craft and better understand the business of writing and the publishing industry. 

If the idea of having your very own creative writing coach sounds like just what you need to optimize your writing life, then this is the podcast for you. New episodes are released on Mondays.
