Art, Activism, and Audre Lorde: How to Use Your Words to Change the World on the RWC Podcast

On episode 24 of the Reed, Write, & Create podcast, I’m sharing a pep talk about art and activism, using the life and times of the incredible Audre Lorde as our role model. We’re talking about the intersection of identity, writing, and making the world a better place. 

Audre Lorde was a Black feminist writer and activist who authored several books of poetry, essays, and memoir. Some of her most popular titles include, Sister Outsider, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, and The Cancer Journals. And fun fact, Audre Lorde was also born in February.

This episode will leave all my BIPOC writers motivated and inspired to change the world with their words.

You can also listen to the episode on Apple podcasts or Spotify.

What Do You Know About Audre Lorde?

Even though Audre Lorde’s life was cut short due to cancer, she lived an incredibly prolific, productive, and meaningful life. She was a mother of two children, she travelled all over the world, and had a deep impact and influence on the Afro-German population in Germany. She was truly a force of nature that I cannot encapsulate in one short, podcast interview. But I hope I have inspired you to lean more about Audre Lorde and her impact on women, words, and the world.
