Why Every Word You Write Matters

from Tell it Proud

The Message is an incredibly timely and powerful book by Ta-Nehisi Coates that highlights the moral depth of what it means to be a writer, and what responsibilities we have when we put ideas into the world we hope others adopt and understand. As someone passionate about how much storytelling shapes every aspect of being human, this book deepened my understanding of the calling of writing. Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this episode explores the message which is incredible work from one of the country's most important writers about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.
