Shula Tas in gesprek met schrijfster Marjolein Visser. Visser schrijft proza en non-fictie. Ze studeerde Klinische Psychologie en Culturele Antropologie en Ontwikkelingsstudies. Marjolein won verschillende schrijfwedstrijden, waaronder Writing for Success en de VPRO Bagagedrager. Twee keer stond ze in de finale van Write Now!. Ondertussen werkte ze als psycholoog i.o. in een traumakliniek voor vluchtelingen en deed onderzoek voor verschillende instellingen (o.a. Vluchtelingenwerk, de Radboud Universiteit en CIDIN) in Nederland en Mexico. Zo deed ze onderzoek naar het welzijn van jongeren en naar het voorkomen van het uitzetten van asielgezinnen. Haar tragikomische debuutroman Restmens verscheen in 2020 en kreeg lovende kritieken. In 2023 kwam haar kinderboekendebuut De verboden duinen (uitgeverij Leopold) uit. Dit voorjaar verscheen haar roman Hou je stil (uitgeverij De Geus), waarvoor ze jarenlang onderzoek deed en tientallen mensen met asielervaringen, alsook traumapsychologen, mensenrechtenactivisten, antropologen, journalisten, uitgezette mensen en slachtoffers en daders van kartelgeweld sprak. Momenteel geeft ze nog steeds schrijfbegeleiding aan mensen met een vluchtachtergrond, onder meer in Ter Apel.

Geneffa Jahan talks with third-generation Japanese American artist and activist, Shizue Seigel about her seven decades of experiential connections across age, class, continents, and cultures. Born in 1946, shortly after her parents emerged from incarceration, Seigel grew up in segregated Baltimore, Occupied Japan, California farm labor camps and skid-row Stockton. In this candid interview, Seigel shares how she rebelled early against the model minority ethos. In the 1960s, she dropped out of college to explore diverse cultures from the Haight-Ashbury to Indian ashrams, from the Financial District to public housing. Seigel speaks of the common humanity she discovered that informed her desire to forge connections with everyday people, elevating their stories through visual art and poetry. In this interview, she reads poems that address the challenges of growing up Asian and female and moves on to poignant poems of family history that focus on her bachans (grandmas) who showed her how to cope with grief. Through poems of oral history, Seigel presents a portrait of resilient people—enduring and gracious as they cope with tremendous loss and grief. In keeping with this spiritual alignment, Seigel ends the hour with a poem reflecting on her Buddhist worldview. Shizue Seigel has worked within marginalized communities for 30 years to help tell unheard stories--working with Black women living in public housing, Japanese American incarceration camp survivors, and other underrepresented groups. She is the founder of WriteNow! SF Bay, supporting writing and art by people of color. For more information, check out http://www.shizueseigel.com/ and www.WriteNowSF.com

E354– Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan. In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Meredith Heller, the author of WRITING BY HEART, Write a Poem, Save Your Life, and several poetry collections. A poet, singer-songwriter, avid nature lover, and educator with degrees in writing and education, she leads writing workshops online and in-person at schools, juvenile detention centers, women's prisons, and wellness retreats. Heller used poetry to heal her life and has guided others toward self-expression. In Writing by Heart, she shares the techniques she developed to help her students explore their emotions, find their voice, and better navigate the challenging experiences they confront. Each chapter includes inspiring themes and example poems, a Body/Mindfulness exercise to help readers get in the creative flow, and WRITE NOW! invitations that encourage readers to explore themes like belonging, fertile darkness, metamorphosis, and more.
