On My Nightstand: Do I Have The Right To Tell Your Story? By Laura Cathcart Robbins Only One In The Room
-
- Personal Journals
This month I say an official goodbye to Moving Forewords, the memoirist collective to which I’ve belonged for the past four, maybe five years. To me, this collection of powerful female writers from all over the country was my safe place. And I am forever grateful and humbled to have been one among many. Although our website will no longer be available, I was able to salvage this piece of writing I did three-ish years ago for our blog and wanted to share it with you all today. Laura Cathcart Robbins is the host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room, and author of the forthcoming Atria/Simon & Schuster memoir, STASH (due out in spring of 2023). She has been active for many years as a speaker and school trustee and is credited for creating The Buckley School’s nationally recognized committee on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. Her recent articles in Huffpo and The Temper on the subjects of race, recovery, and divorce have garnered her worldwide acclaim. She is a LA Moth StorySlam winner and currently sits on the advisory boards of the San Diego Writer’s Festival and the Outliers HQ podcast Festival.
