One of the hardest parts of writing can be writing people with differing backgrounds to you. Do you not include it at all? That's not good. Do you include it even though you don't have the lived experience to write it authentically? That's not good either! Writers Alisha Morrissey, Nicole Smith, Heather Reilly and Rhea Rollmann break down their thoughts on this intense subject.

Originally broadcast on May 18, 2026 on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. John's, and on other great stations across the country.
