Light: A Story of Love, Distance, & the Burden of Womanhood

from Tales of Our Time

Today I'm joined by Etosha Taylor, a host of the podcast "Yaoi Fangirls versus the World", to discuss a short story from the collection "What It Means When A Man Falls From the Sky". Written by Nigerian author Leslie Nneka Arimah, the entire collection covers topics including grief, love, and what it means to be a woman in today's world. Today Etosha and I discuss Arimah's short story "Light", and how it accurately portrays the difficulties of immigration, raising a child, and watching young women come up in a world that will require them to give away parts of themselves to fit in. We laugh, we get chills, we get MOVED!
