Shawn speaks with poet Antoinette Brim-Bell about trying new things (she’s a professor but also taking a playwriting class), why she’s waited to write about race (until now), and the difference between simply taking up space and being worthy of the space we’ve been given.
You can find out more about Antoinette at her website.
Antoinette’s book, These Women You Gave Me.
