Speaking On Writing as Resistance
Featured Guests: Kathryn Destin, Ayah Al-Masyabi, and Allison Su
In these tumultuous times, we often turn to art as a guide to true north. GWN’s Kathryn Destin moderates a conversation with mentees Ayah Al-Masyabi and Allison Su. In this first episode of our three part series on writing as activism, you’ll hear a beautiful conversation about writing as resistance, surviving the overwhelming news cycle, and staying steadfast in your activism. You’ll leave the episode with a longer TBR list and a few action items to begin your own form of resistance.
