The Importance of Honouring & Amplifying Everyone’s Voices
What does it mean to honour the voices around us? How can we use the power of storytelling as a catalyst for positive change in a world that glamourizes conformity?
In this week's episode, I explore the importance of honouring and amplifying everyone's voices with author, Kyra Ann Dawkins. Inspired by the stories her grandfather told her, Kyra is no stranger to writing. Having published in many papers, she graduated with highest honors from Phillips Exeter Academy and from Columbia University in the City of New York where she majored in Medicine, Literature, and Society. After graduating, she noticed an intense pressure to construct her identity. A champion of oral tradition, she wrote her debut book, The We and the They, to create a narrative space where readers could escape the limits of individuality and experience a story as a member of a new collective.
In our conversation, Kyra shares her story and more specifically, talks about her Autistic and Nonverbal sister, Kendra, and how she has shown Kyra what it means to be true to who you are and to honour all voices. In more detail we discuss:
- Why storytelling is important
- The lessons Kyra's sister has taught her
- What it means to honour the voices around us
- How we can honour and amplify the voices around us
- And more!
