    How to Tell the Truth with Fariha Róisín

    This week on Common Shapes podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend Fariha Róisín for a conversation at the intersections of writing, politics, care, and liberation. Fariha is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Ontario, Canada and raised in Sydney, Australia. As a Muslim queer Bangladeshi, she is interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. She’s the author of five books and writes the Substack newsletter, How to Cure a Ghost. In this episode, Fariha shares her experience telling the truth amidst propaganda and channeling righteous rage into writing. She explains how she approaches writing about Palestine during the genocide in Gaza and how she embeds the depth of her feelings and beliefs in her work. Tune in to hear about— Feeling the responsibility to speak outFariha’s process for working on two books at oncePouring your feelings into your writingDemystifying spiritual practiceThe importance of surrenderWhere the personal meets the politicalHow Fariha writes her weekly newsletter Links Visit Fariha’s websiteOrder Survival Takes a Wild ImaginationSubscribe to Fariha’s Substack newsletterFollow Fariha on InstagramMentioned in the episode: James Baldwin, Mother Country RadicalsGet the Creative Ideation PortalSign up for my weekly newsletter, Monday MondayFind all these links & more at codycookparrott.com/commonshapes  🖱️ Join me in Flexible Office: A Digital Co-working Space for all of us.

  8. The Importance of the Personal Essay

    11/22/2023

    The Importance of the Personal Essay

    I’ve been writing personal essays for over a decade, and I believe that my personal essay practice allowed me to leave social media. So in today’s episode, I share how I blend the personal, the poetic, and the political in my writing. And I unpack how that supports me in speaking up and sharing my work without shying away from what’s happening in the world. I hope this episode inspires you to share your writing with the people. Tune in to learn about— The importance of your life storyHow to share your political valuesFacing fear when we don’t know what to sayBeing willing to get it wrongWhy you should choose a container for your writingHow personal essays can help you leave social media Links Get the Creative Ideation PortalSign up for my weekly newsletter, Monday MondaySign up for Writing the Personal, Dec 3 -17Mentioned in the episode — Body Work by Melissa Febos, 69herbs, Sister Spinster, Lukaza’s Substack, Fariha’s Substack, Friendship Village book, Bear Hebert, Off the Grid podcast, Ayana Zaire Cotton SubstackFind all these links & more at codycookparrott.com/commonshapes  🖱️ Join me in Flexible Office: A Digital Co-working Space for all of us.
