    Hello!!! This is the last Feature Friday of Season 2!

    Webtoon is completely FREE!! All you have to do is sign up, and start reading! (I love the app so much lol! And nobody is paying me to say these things)  Her work is also available on her website https://www.s-morishitastudio.com/

    Self-Acceptance: Part 4 Relationships & Sex

    Self-Acceptance: Part 4 Relationships & Sex

    Join psychologist Dr. Carol Van Dyke and me as we talk about the myth of sexual freedom and other topics in this episode of 

    Relationships & Sex. 

    https://www.drcarolvandyke.com/

    The poem featured today is titled "Healing" by poet Nayo Jones. You can follow her on Twitter @poetnoir 

    and if you want to watch her live performance of the poem (2016) here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YzIGoonIrE

    Each poem featured on Wednesday episodes is not always directly connected to the conversation, but each poem is chosen because it provokes critical thinking, dialogue, help, and inspiration, and connection to the audience.

    P.S Sorry for any technical difficulties! This one was pre-recorded with another episode that had the same problem. I'm hoping to have it fixed by next week.

Sharing Women Voice

I love the podcast and the variety in the poems and spoken word pieces that are shared. It’s beautiful to have these pieces that women have shared narrated in such a way! This is beautiful and I am excited to continue to listen on this journey. Please continue to build on this platform. We need this!
