Episode 144: Writing is more than words - why I resonate with Black writers - what it is truly like to put the dyslexic brain on the page and the purpose in doing so

from Purple Psychology · host Dr Naoisé O'Reilly

Nothing new that has ever been created has been embraced. I have to remind myself of this as I stay true to what I'm creating - knowing it has a soul of its own and a big lasting impact for us to finally see the world full of difference. To lose our biases once and for all. How I see those biases so proudly in relation to black people. How I have experienced them in a different way. I talk about James Baldwin's essay - A Fly In the Buttermilk (original title The Hard Kind Of Courage)My own short writing I speak about can be found at Essays in Awareness on drnaoiseoreilly dot org - Unfortunately, my books are only availbe to trusted readers right now...
