In this episode of Parents Who Think, Danusia gets into into a juicy conversation with Hollie McNish—award-winning poet, author, and performer. The focus? Female masturbation, sexuality, and shedding the centuries of shame surrounding women's pleasure. One of Hollie's books, Slug and Other Things I've Been Told to Hate, serves as the jumping-off point for this honest chat.   Danusia and Hollie cover it all, from why society can't handle women who prioritise their own pleasure, to surprising moments of erotic awakenings (hairdressers and dentists, anyone?). Hollie shares deeply personal reflections, like conversations with her late grandmother who thought orgasms were mythical creatures. They also explore why certain words—like "moist" and "vulva"—trigger deep discomfort rooted in societal shame.   You won't want to miss this one—it's time to dismantle taboos, one orgasm at a time!   Discover more from us: • Join PWT community on Substack • Follow us on Instagram • Connect with Danusia • Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts • Advertising Inquiries here   Credits: • Hosted by Danusia Malina-Derben • Edited, Mixed + Mastered by Marie Cruz • Cover art by Anthony Oram

Have you ever struggled with a repetitive sin that you can't seem to break on your own? Do you swing from feelings of shame to justifying sin as no big deal? Do you understand the enemy's tactics and how he preys on our weaknesses?  Today Kirby Kelly- speaker, author, scholar, and Christian content creator- joins me to share her powerful and very vulnerable story. Kirby dealt with habitual sin for years until the Lord showed up in His grace and mercy to set her free. She shares how sanctification works in the life of believers and how the Christian community and other women standing beside her helped release her from shame and break off chains.  Kirby also talks about green and red light zones which are boundaries that keep us free from sin and out of enemy territory. She discusses the difference between operating from a place of superhuman, subhuman, and simply human mindsets and how each of those affects our view of sin and ourselves.  Through vulnerability, boundaries, our identity in Christ, and understanding our enemy Kirby imparts truth and tools that are truly life-changing.  Connect with Kirby Kelly:  Website:  Kirby Kelly Facebook: Kirby Kelly Instagram:  Kirby Kelly

A common struggle among people from all walks of life is believing untruths about ourselves, due to things spoken into us and over our lives that influence and shape us into who we are. Author, speaker, and spoken word artist Hosanna Wong experienced this firsthand, and found herself feeling like she couldn't measure up. But what she discovered by learning stories of other people on the streets of San Francisco was that so many of us feel unworthy, unloved, and unseen. Hosanna turned to Jesus' life as the example for how we can know ourselves, and be set free from the lies we're told.   Quotes “Growing up, I believed the lie that I was not enough. I remember thinking that I had to change who I was in order to be accepted, in order to be loved. As I got older, that lie continued with me into my adult life. A few years ago, I started being healed from this lie and set free from this lie, resisting a culture that wants me to be defined by what I do.” - Hosanna Wong “What you think about yourself determines how you live. If you think you're not enough, you might start living like you are. You might try to change yourself, or work harder, or produce more, or do more, or hustle harder in order to be loved. If you believe you are a burden—a burden to be loved—you might start living like you are.” - Hosanna Wong “You are more than you've been told. My hope is that people discover who they really are, that they stop looking at their lives through the broken lens of other people, and start to see themselves through the lens of God. When you know who you are, it changes how you live.” - Hosanna Wong “God knew we would believe lies that we have to do more, or produce more, or perform more to be more valuable, so God commanded rest, and then Jesus exemplified a life of rest. It shows us that we can do everything God has called us to do and also rest in knowing we are loved without doing one thing.” - Hosanna Wong   Guest's Links Hosanna Wong's website Hosanna Wong's Facebook Hosanna Wong's Instagram Hosanna Wong's Twitter   Resources Mentioned in This Episode “You Are More Than You've Been Told” by Hosanna Wong Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Jan 14, 2024   Barring a political miracle or an act of God, it is overwhelmingly likely that Donald Trump will again be the Republican Party's nominee for president. Assuming the Democratic nominee in the fall is Joe Biden, polls show Trump with a better-than-even chance of returning to the White House next year. Lord help us. What should those of us who have consistently opposed him do? You can't defeat an opponent if you refuse to understand what makes him formidable. Too many people, especially progressives, fail to think deeply about the enduring sources of his appeal — and to do so without calling him names, or disparaging his supporters, or attributing his resurgence to nefarious foreign actors or the unfairness of the Electoral College. Since I will spend the coming year strenuously opposing his candidacy, let me here make the best case for Trump that I can. Begin with fundamentals. Trump got three big things right — or at least more right than wrong. Arguably the single most important geopolitical fact of the century is the mass migration of people from south to north and east to west, causing tectonic demographic, cultural, economic and ultimately political shifts. Trump understood this from the start of his presidential candidacy in 2015, the same year Europe was overwhelmed by a largely uncontrolled migration from the Middle East and Africa. As he said the following year, “A nation without borders is not a nation at all. We must have a wall. The rule of law matters!” Many of Trump's opponents refuse to see virtually unchecked migration as a problem for the West at all. Some of them see it as an opportunity to demonstrate their humanitarianism. Others look at it as an inexhaustible source of cheap labor. They also have the habit of denouncing those who disagree with them as racists. But enforcing control at the border — whether through a wall, a fence or some other mechanism — isn't racism. It's a basic requirement of statehood and peoplehood, which any nation has an obligation to protect and cherish. Only now, as the consequences of Biden's lackadaisical approach to mass migration have become depressingly obvious on the sidewalks and in the shelters and public schools of liberal cities like New York and Chicago, are Trump's opponents on this issue beginning to see the point. Public services paid by taxes exist for people who live here, not just anyone who makes his way into the country by violating its laws. A job market is structured by rules and regulations, not just an endless supply of desperate laborers prepared to work longer for less. A national culture is sustained by common memories, ideals, laws and a language — which newcomers should honor, adopt and learn as a requirement of entry. It isn't just a giant arrival gate for anyone and everyone who wants to take advantage of America's abundance and generosity. It said something about the self-deluded state of Western politics when Trump came on the scene that his assertion of the obvious was treated as a moral scandal, at least by the stratum of society that had the least to lose from mass migration. To millions of other Americans, his message, however crudely he may have expressed it, sounded like plain common sense. The second big thing Trump got right was about the broad direction of the country. Trump rode a wave of pessimism to the White House — pessimism his detractors did not share because he was speaking about, and to, an America they either didn't see or understood only as a caricature. But just as with this year, when liberal elites insist that things are going well while overwhelming majorities of Americans say they are not, Trump's unflattering view captured the mood of the country. In 2017, demographer Nicholas Eberstadt joined this pessimistic perception with comprehensive data in an influential essay for Commentary. He noted persistently sluggish economic growth and a plunging labor force participation rate that had never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. There was a rising death rate among middle-aged white people and declining life expectancy at birth, in part because of sharply rising deaths from suicide, alcoholism or drug addiction. More than 12% of all adult males had a felony conviction on their record, leaving them in the shadowlands of American life. And there was a palpable sense of economic decline, with fewer and fewer younger Americans having any hope of matching their parents' incomes at the same stages of life. Far too little has changed since then. Labor force participation remains essentially where it was in the last days of the Obama administration. Deaths of despair keep rising. The cost of living has risen sharply, and while the price of ordinary goods may finally be coming down, rents haven't. Only 36% of voters think the American dream still holds true, according to a recent survey, down from 48% in 2016. If anything, Trump's thesis may be truer today than it was the first time he ran on it. Finally, there's the question of institutions that are supposed to represent impartial expertise, from elite universities and media to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI. Trump's detractors, including me, often argued that his demagoguery and mendacity did a lot to needlessly diminish trust in these vital institutions. But we should be more honest with ourselves and admit that those institutions did their own work in squandering, through partisanship or incompetence, the esteem in which they had once been widely held. How so? Much of the elite media, mostly liberal, became openly partisan in the 2016 election — and, in doing so, not only failed to understand why Trump won but also probably unwittingly contributed to his victory. Academia, also mostly liberal, became increasingly illiberal, inhospitable not just to conservatives but to anyone pushing back even modestly against progressive orthodoxy. The FBI abused its authority with dubious investigations and salacious leaks that led to sensational headlines but not criminal prosecutions, much less convictions. The CDC and other public health bureaucracies flubbed the pandemic reaction, with (mostly) good intentions but frequently devastating consequences: “If you're a public health person and you're trying to make a decision, you have this very narrow view of what the right decision is, and that is something that will save a life,” former National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins acknowledged last month. “You attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way they never quite recovered.” Trump and his supporters called all this out. For this, they were called idiots, liars and bigots by people who think of themselves as enlightened and empathetic and hold the commanding heights in the national culture. The scorn only served to harden the sense among millions of Americans that liberal elites are self-infatuated, imperious, hysterical and hopelessly out of touch — or, to use one of Trump's favorite words, “disgusting.” A few readers might nod their heads in (partial) agreement. Then they'll ask: What about the election denialism? What about Jan. 6? What about the threat Trump poses to the very foundations of our democracy? All disqualifying — in my view. But it's also important to stretch one's mind a little and try to understand why so many voters are unimpressed about the “end of democracy” argument. For one thing, haven't they heard it before — and with the same apocalyptic intensity? In 2016, Trump was frequently compared to Benito Mussolini and other dictators (including by me). The comparison might have proved more persuasive if Trump's presidency had been replete with jailed and assassinated political opponents, rigged or canceled elections, a muzzled or captured press — and Trump still holding office today, rather than running to get his old job back. The election denialism is surely ugly, but it isn't quite unique: Prominent Democrats also denied the legitimacy of George W. Bush's two elections — the second one no less than the first. Many rank-and-file Republicans regard the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol as a disgrace and the lowest point of Trump's presidency. But they also believe that it wasn't so much an insurrection as it was an ugly temper tantrum by Trump and his most rabid supporters that never had a chance of succeeding. One reason for that is that the judges Trump appointed to the federal bench and the Supreme Court rebuffed his legal efforts — and he had no choice but to accept the rulings. An American version of Vladimir Putin he simply is not. That's why warnings from Biden and others about the risk Trump poses to democracy are likely to fall flat even with many moderate voters. If there's any serious threat to democracy, doesn't it also come from Democratic judges and state officials who are using never-before-used legal theories — which even liberal law professors like Harvard's Lawrence Lessig regard as dangerous and absurd — to try to kick Trump's name off ballots in Maine and Colorado? When liberal partisans try to suppress democracy in the name of saving democracy, they aren't helping their cause politically or legally. They are merely confirming the worst stereotypes about their own hypocrisy. As it is, the 2024 election will not hinge on questions of democracy but of delivery: Which candidate will do more for voters? That will turn on perceptions of which candidate did more for voters when they were in office. Biden's supporters are convinced that the president has a good story to tell. But they also think that Trump has no story at all — only a pack of self-aggrandizing lies. That's liberal self-delusion. Excluding the pandemic, a once-in-a-century event that would have knocked almost any sitting president sideways, Americans have reasons to remember the Trump years as good ones — and good in a way that completely defied expert predictions of doom. Wages outpaced inflation, something they have just begun to do under Biden, according to an analysis by Bankrate. Unemployment fell to 50-year lows (as it has been under Biden); stocks boomed; inflation and interest rates were low. He appealed to Americans who operated in the economy of things — builders, manufacturers, energy producers, food services and the like — rather than in the economy of words — lawyers, academics, journalists, civil servants. And he shared the law-and-order instincts of normal Americans, including respect for the police, something the left seemed to care about on Jan. 6 but was notably less concerned about during the months of rioting, violence and semi-anarchy that followed George Floyd's murder. As for foreign policy, it's worth asking: Does the world feel safer under Biden — with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Hamas' and Hezbollah's assault on Israel, Houthi attacks on shipping in international waters, the Chinese open threat to invade Taiwan — than it did under Trump? Trump may have generated a lot of noise, but his crazy talk and air of unpredictability seemed to keep America's adversaries on their guard and off balance in a way that Biden's instinctive caution and feeble manner simply does not. Ordinary voters care typically about results. What many care less about is Trump's purported offensiveness. It's at least worth asking whether his occasional Archie Bunkerisms are any more obnoxious than the incessant offense-taking, finger-wagging and fake prudishness of his opponents. Many of the same people who seemed to have suffered fainting spells when the notorious “Hollywood Access” tape came to light had, only a few years before, been utterly indifferent to much more serious allegations of sexual assault by Bill Clinton as Arkansas attorney general, governor and later president. You can fault Trump for coarseness, but you can't pretend we don't live in a coarse age. What about the other Republicans in the field? Why aren't they at least preferable to GOP primary voters than Trump, with all of his baggage and bombast? It's a good question. My pet theory is that if Republican voters think the central problem in America today is obnoxious progressives, then how better to spite them than by shoving Trump down their throats for another four years? If somehow Nikki Haley were to win the nomination and then the general election, her victory would be a matter of disappointment for Democrats but not the wailing and gnashing of teeth that went with Trump's victory in 2016. For many Republicans, the visceral satisfaction of liberal anguish at a Trump restoration more than makes up for his flaws. But there's a deeper reason, too — one Trump's opponents ought to consider in thinking about how to beat him. As writers like Tablet's Alana Newhouse have noted, brokenness has become the defining feature of much of American life: broken families, broken public schools, broken small towns and inner cities, broken universities, broken health care, broken media, broken churches, broken borders, broken government. At best, they have become shells of their former selves. And there's a palpable sense that the autopilot that America's institutions and their leaders are on — brain-dead and smug — can't continue. It shouldn't seem strange to Trump's opponents that a man whom we regard as an agent of chaos should be seen by his supporters as precisely the man who can sweep the decks clean. I happen to think that's exactly wrong; you don't mend damaged systems by breaking them even further. Repair and restoration is almost always better than reaction or revolution. But I don't see Trump's opponents making headway against him until they at least acknowledge the legitimacy and power of the fundamental complaint. If you're saying it's “Morning in America” when 77% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, you're preaching to the wrong choir — and the wrong country. Trump's opponents say this is the most important election of our lifetime. Isn't it time, then, to take our heads out of the sand?   --------------------------------------------------------------------  Visit Pragertopia  https://pragertopia.com/member/signup.php  The first month is 99 cents.

That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated?

“This world needs real people sharing that they are going through real trials, and in the midst of it proclaiming, ‘but God.'” On September 7th, we got to gather for She Is Community Night! It was a great night filled with community, worship, and teaching from Pastor Kim on what it looks like to glorify God in the midst of suffering. It was an evening that we got to hear the truth of God's Word and had time to respond and pray together. If you had the chance to participate, listening to this message a second time is worth it, and if you were unable to join Community Night, we are so glad that you'll get to hear this!  Kim mentioned a few books in her message and you can find them here: “You Are More Than You've Been Told” by Hosanna Wong “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis She Is Transformed is right around the corner and man, oh, man, we can't wait to pack the KCAC! It really is the best weekend of the year and we'd love for you to be part of it! You can find all of the information about the conference and get your tickets here! Thanks for listening!

Have you ever felt like life was just too busy but had no idea how to slow it down? Have you had the desire for change, but didn't have the space or time to explore those changes? In today's episode my friend Hosanna Wong and I discuss what it means to abide in Christ and live the life He has called you to live. Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author, and spoken word artist helping everyday people know Jesus for real. Hosanna preaches in churches, conferences, prisons, & other events around the world. She serves together with her husband Guy in various ministries equipping people with tools to share the gospel of Jesus in today's world.  Hosanna is passionate about spreading the gospel and helping people know and love as who they really are. Her newest book You Are More Than You've Been Told is available now! You may have heard the term, "to abide in Christ". In today's episode Hosannah challenges us to look at what that practically means for our day to day life. You'll hear how we can fight for our schedules to create structures that look like the rhythms of Jesus' life. Four rhythms she dives into today are:Rhythm of scripture Rhythm of prayerRhythm of rest Rhythm of real communityIf I'm being honest, there are two rhythms on this list that I really struggle with. But Hosanna said some things today that have really stuck with me and even though they're not my strengths, I'm committed to leaning into them and asking God to help me! Which of these rhythms are your strengths and which are some you can grow in to help you abide in Christ each day? SHOW LINKS:You Are More Than You've Been ToldI Have A New Name spoke wordThe Spirit of Disciplines by Dallas WillardOn Living Well by Eugene PetersonChinatown PrettyHH Book ClubConnect with Jamie

This episode first aired on 1st March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Tim Spector is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London. He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK's largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut. He is a prolific writer with several popular science and diet books, the most recent of which will be the focus of today's conversation. That book is called Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We've Been Told about Food is Wrong. If you've never questioned the conventional “wisdom” when it comes to the food choices you make, or you just geek out on nutrition and anything to do with the gut (like me), then this is a must-listen. Key Points Personalized nutrition is the way to go. As Tim explains, mainstream consensus on proper caloric intake, macro ratio, and the like are basing numbers off of a mythical ideal human being. Women needing 2000 calories per day and men needing 2500 per day is based on very crude averages that ignore all the latest science about how our body uses different foods differently even if they have the same calories. If you want to improve your gut health, the main focus should be on increasing the diversity of species. There is no one probiotic that will optimize gut health. You need more strains to produce a wider range of chemicals. People who, every week, avoid ultra-processed foods and eat 30 different types of plants, nuts, seeds, and herbs that are high in polyphenols have the most diversity in their microbiome. They also don't snack to rest their microbes. We're all unique in how we process different kinds of foods. There is no one-size-fits-all nutrition plan. You need to experiment with different foods and portion sizes to see what your body and brain best respond to. All the while, always look after your gut microbes. Gut health is an incredibly underrated factor in human wellness. If you make it a point to maintain a diverse microbiome, your overall health will skyrocket.

Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by author, teacher, and spoken word artist Hosanna Wong for a conversation around identity in Christ and how to adopt the rhythms of Jesus. One of the most fundamental questions of life is Who Am I? and, in Christian circles, we are often rushed to answer that our identity is in Christ. But how do we really find out what this means and, even when we do feel connected to Jesus, how do we keep that connection? This conversation addresses these questions and dives deep into looking at four rhythms or spiritual disciplines that you can begin adopting in your own life. Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author and spoken word artist helping everyday people know Jesus for real. Widely known for her spoken word piece, "I Have A New Name," Hosanna shares in churches, conferences, prisons, and other events around the world, reaching across various denominations, backgrounds and cultures.Born and raised in an urban ministry on the streets of San Francisco, Hosanna later packed her life into suitcases and traveled to churches and other ministries throughout the United States to share about Jesus through spoken word poetry. During those years without a permanent home, she began speaking and creating resources to serve the local and global Church.Hosanna currently travels and speaks year-round, and serves on teaching teams at churches throughout the United States. She and her husband, Guy serve together in various ministries equipping people with tools to share the gospel of Jesus in today's world.Hosanna is the best-selling author of How (Not) to Save the World. Her new book, You Are More Than You've Been Told releases August 2023. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team.

Do you often feel like you need to follow the standards and expectations set by other people in order to be successful? Women have always been fed lies and expectations that are set by society, their workplace, or by men. Women should work harder, do this, and do that– these are the key principles that affect and limit women. To acknowledge and understand these lies is what will set you free to grow as a business leader and as a woman. The world will feed you toxic lies but it is up to you to recognize them and create solutions individually or collectively. To be a woman and to be a leader is already a power in your own unique way. Are you ready to share it with the world? Areva Martin is an award-winning civil rights attorney, advocate, social issues commentator, talk shows host, and producer. A CNN legal analyst and Harvard Law School graduate, Martin founded Martin & Martin, LLP, a Los Angeles-based civil rights firm, and is the CEO of Butterfly Health, Inc., a mental health technology company. A best-selling author, Martin has dedicated her fourth book, Awakening: Ladies, Leadership, and the Lies We've Been Told, to helping women worldwide recognize, own, and assert their limitless power. In this episode, Areva talks about why recognizing the lies is important in breaking the stigma and expectation set by society, our workplace, or even the people around us. She also shares some of the common lies and narratives that people expect from women and how recognizing them is a way of healing.   What you will learn from this episode: Discover how recognizing and calling out the lies and issues is your step to awakening the leader in you Learn why you should first understand the situation you are in to get the right solutions Understand how healing and growth can come from this recognition   “What I wanted women to do was to first acknowledge it, to open their eyes to it, and start that healing process. You start to, quite frankly, recognize that you are enough.” - Areva Martin   Valuable Free Resource: Learn how to acknowledge the lies and awaken the girl boss within you: https://arevamartin.com/   Topics Covered: 01:45 - You can't fix what you don't acknowledge: why it is important to first understand and recognize the lies before anything else 02:46 - Work harder, keep your head down, and accept more assignments are just some of the lies women have been told 03:37 - Recognition is the key step to starting the healing process and recognizing that you are more than enough 04:35 - Understanding the situation as individual women leaders or as a collective and coming together to create solutions: What you can do to overcome the closed door and welcome new changes 05:48 - Facing the lies and the stigma: How looks, color, and ethnicity do actually matter in the workplace and how these standards aren't issues for men 07:20 - Ripping out the narrative and painting over it: How the predominant narrative of expecting women to do more drove Areva into writing her fourth book 08:31 - Acknowledging and changing the lies, expectations, and misconceptions that society have about women– not as a movement against men, but as a movement for change 10:08 - Q: One of the biggest lies that every woman at every stage in her career was told? A: You can't have it all, that you have to make a binary choice between having a career or having children. There's not a day that goes by that I don't talk to a woman who's either confronted that or feels as if that's a decision there in the midst of making right now in their careers.   Key Takeaways: “Start to examine what lies they've been told in their own life and how those lies have shaped and impacted their careers and what they want to do differently.” - Areva Martin “You can't really fix what you don't acknowledge.” - Areva Martin “I wanted women to know that they are enough. And then in most cases, they are doing enough. And it's not what they are doing or not doing, it's that they're trying to lean into a closed door.” - Areva Martin “We're not told is that so many decisions are made about how far you go in the workplace have nothing to do with how hard you work or your work ethic. It has more to do with relationships. It has to do with, oftentimes, unspoken things that are happening deals that are being cut in rooms where women often aren't included.” - Areva Martin “It really is not a one-size-fits-all. You know, that's not how this works. This is about understanding the situation that we are all in as women, and then coming together to create solutions.” - Areva Martin “I would hope that after someone reads this book is that they start to examine what lies they've been told in their own life and how those lives have shaped and impacted their careers and what they want to do differently.” - Areva Martin   Ways to Connect with Areva Martin: Website: https://arevamartin.com/   Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

Welcome to August! I'm excited to announce that this month's article is “The Stories I Haven't Been Told,” by Jamie Figueroa. You're going to appreciate this article, because of its beautiful language, direct authenticity, and deep themes. Here's my blurb of the piece, which I featured in Issue #286 of The Highlighter:Jamie Figueroa fills up cheap spiral-bound notebooks with words to explore where she comes from, who she is, and why she's here. In this complex, powerful essay, Ms. Figueroa organizes those thoughts into a gripping narrative that reveals what she knows (and doesn't know) about her Puerto Rican family's history. Her process reveals deep truths about generational trauma, the effects of assimilation, the legacy of family, the shape-shifting of memory, and the power of writing.Ms. Figueroa writes, “I come from women who were held down. Women who left their children and took in others. I come from women who fought back, who wielded knives, who shot guns. Wounded, wounding. Healed, healing. I come from Taíno women and Yoruba women. Black-skinned and brown-skinned women. I come from women who can lie so good, they can convince even themselves. Women who were remade, unrecognizable. Women who have started over too many times to count. I come from women who were deterred from their own wild knowing. Women who survived.” (27 min) Ms. Figueroa is Boricua (Afro-Taíno) by way of Ohio and long-time resident of northern New Mexico. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney's, American Short Fiction, Agni and Emergence Magazine among other journals. Jamie received her MFA in Creative Writing from The Institute of American Indian Arts where she is now an assistant professor. Recipient of the Truman Capote award, and the Jack Kent Cooke Graduate Arts award, she was also chosen as a Bread Loaf, Rona Jaffe Scholar, and is a VONA alum. Brother, Sister, Mother, Explorer (Catapult) is her debut novel.  I hope you'll join me and fellow Article Clubbers in discussing this article on Sunday, August 22, 2:00 - 3:15 pm PT! This event will be on Zoom, open to the public, and limited to 28 participants.Are you IN?
