Send us a textYou'll be quickly drawn into Paula's story of researching, writing, and publishing her book that shares the heart-wrenching details of child soldiers in Colombia alongside her own coming-of-age reflection as someone who was born, but not raised, in Colombia. Paula Delgado-King is the author of Leonor. It's her first book that started as a policy paper when she was a grad student at Columbia University in International Affairs back in 2001. At the time, Paula was interested in what the United Nations was doing to help children exercise their rights and she focused her attention on Bogotá, Colombia. It was a natural point of focus for Paula who is originally from Bogotá, having been born there, but her family was forced to leave when she was 9 due to threats against her family. When she traveled to Bogotá, to start researching and reporting about the experiences of children, it was her connection with Leonor, a young girl from a halfway home in Bogotá, that had her eager to return every couple of months to learn the latest in her story. Paula's passion and dedication to sharing this story is evident. It took her a long time, but she knew it needed to be out in the world. As writers, it's interesting to think about how long it can take to get our stories into the world. You may be able to relate to what Paula has to share in this episode and find you're ready to write your story. Paula's book is a unique blend of nonfiction and memoir. An exploration of a culture that's familiar, yet at the same time not familiar, and writing with an awareness of needing to effectively explore her experience in connection with Leonor's. Paula was pulled into Leonor's story because of her experience as a woman who was under attack simply for being a woman. She kept in touch with Leonor for about 19 years to ensure she correctly captured the truth and the details of Leonor's experience. Paula made the decision to eventually add her own story to help make Leonor's story more accessible to a reader. It's an exploration of connecting with her heritage and exploring her own coming of age story when she wasn't able to grow up in Colombia. There were certainly many challenges in the writing process to weave her story with Leonor's. She was very thoughtful and diligent in making sure she was true to her voice and Leonor's voice. It's not an easy topic, but it will make you stop and reflect on your own life. You also don't want to miss hearing about Paula's writing process and balancing it with motherhood. She also shares about navigating rejection and what she learned along the way. It's an episode that is sure to inspire, so go ahead and click the button below to listen. Who is Paula Delgado-Kling?

Unravel the haunting narrative of James Bulger, a two-year-old boy whose disappearance from a Liverpool shopping center spiraled into a heart-wrenching tragedy. As we recount the day that changed a family forever, we hold space for James's memory, scrutinizing the chilling CCTV footage that marked his final moments and the unwavering efforts of a community in search of answers.

In a reflective discussion, we grapple with the complexities of their psyches, the violence they were both subjected to and perpetrated, and the broader implications for child safety and societal responsibility. These threads of discourse unravel the disturbing behaviors observed during police questioning and ignite conversation about the influence of domestic violence, the intricacies of child psychology, and the potential shortcomings of social services in shielding the vulnerable.As the discussion transitions into the aftermath of tragedy, we analyze the controversial trial and rehabilitation of James's murderers, the struggle to balance justice with the prospect of redemption, and the public debate on the treatment of juvenile offenders.

On this episode of the Colombia Calling podcast, we get to talk to writer Paula Delgado Kling - after a long absence - about her book, which is now a reality and will be launched on 28 January 2024 (Tune in for further details). "Leonor, the Story of a Lost Childhood," is a heart wrenching tale of a young girl who entered the FARC guerrillas in Colombia, becoming the "first girl" of the commander in her region of Putumayo. Author Delgado Kling has had unrivalled access to Leonor over the space of some 20 years as she goes through the process of reintegration back into formal Colombian society after being captured by the military. Now a mother herself, Leonor has returned to her hometown of Mocoa and her life continues there. However, this story is not just one of a young girl born into poverty, abuse and misery, it also runs parallel to Delgado Kling's family's experiences of having to leave Colombia due to the threat of kidnapping at the hands of the M19 guerrillas.

Our second January Novel Dialogue conversation is with Caryl Phillips, professor of English at Yale and world-renowned for novels ranging from The Final Passage to 2018's A View of the Empire at Sunset. He shares his thoughts on transplantation, on performance, on race, even on sports. Joining him here are John and the wonderful comparatist Corina Stan, author of The Art of Distances: Ethical Thinking in 20th century Literature. If you enjoy this conversation, range backwards through the RtB archives for comparable talks with Jennifer Egan, Helen Garner, Orhan Pamuk, Zadie Smith, Samuel Delany and many more. It's a rangy conversation. John begins by raving about Caryl's italics–he in turn praises Faulkner's. Corina and Caryl explore his debt (cf. his The European Tribe) to American writers like Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Meeting Baldwin was scary–back in those days before there were “writers besporting themselves on every university campus.” Caryl praises the joy of being a football fan (Leeds United), reflects on his abiding loyalty to his class and geographic origins and his fondness for the moments of Sunday joy that allow people to endure. John raises Orhan Pamuk's claim (In Novel Dialogue last season) that the novel is innately middle-class; Caryl says that it's true that as a form it has always taken time and money to make–and to read. But “vicars and middle class people fall in love, too; they get betrayed and let down…a gamut of emotion that's as wide as anybody else.” He remains drawn to writers haunted by the past: Eliot, W.G. Sebald, the huge influence of Faulkner trying to stitch the past to the present.

Our second January Novel Dialogue conversation is with Caryl Phillips, professor of English at Yale and world-renowned for novels ranging from The Final Passage to 2018's A View of the Empire at Sunset. He shares his thoughts on transplantation, on performance, on race, even on sports. Joining him here are John and the wonderful comparatist Corina Stan, author of The Art of Distances: Ethical Thinking in 20th century Literature. If you enjoy this conversation, range backwards through the RtB archives for comparable talks with Jennifer Egan, Helen Garner, Orhan Pamuk, Zadie Smith, Samuel Delany and many more. It's a rangy conversation. John begins by raving about Caryl's italics–he in turn praises Faulkner's. Corina and Caryl explore his debt (cf. his The European Tribe) to American writers like Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Meeting Baldwin was scary–back in those days before there were “writers besporting themselves on every university campus.” Caryl praises the joy of being a football fan (Leeds United), reflects on his abiding loyalty to his class and geographic origins and his fondness for the moments of Sunday joy that allow people to endure.

'Home', people say, is simply where you belong. A belonging that blooms from familiarity. But for those who have been uprooted all their lives, home is a capricious space. It is constantly on the move bundled with first toys, family photos, and the playfulness of childhood until one day we long for the memories that we have lost and the stories that we've left behind. In this week's story, will the protagonist be able to piece together his journey of constant displacement? Will he be able to find his way home?

If you can hang with that, then grab your bug-out bag, dust off your survival skills, and join the Mamas in the bunker.

Affirmations on what might be holding you back based on Enneagram types. You will want to listen to this episode and take notes to help reprogram your mind and overcome self-sabotage! This work was life changing self-acceptance and deeper development into essence, away from the ego for me 9 years ago and I am still an enneagram junkie. Just when I think I have surrendered; I find I need to surrender more. It's not all about you; you are part of a much larger whole yet the whole would be incomplete without you! Listen in to find out how you can rid yourself of shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, anger, and resentment. Deeper connections, more love, success, better relationships, all of these can be achieved when we love ourselves to wholeness. Spirit speaks through many voices, in many spaces, and it is my hope that you find inspiration through this episode! Of course, any of the affirmations can be borrowed from any of the types if they resonate with you. Feel free to move them onto a 3x5 card if they feel good to you!
