Writing Retreats

from Academic Aunties

For this episode of the podcast, we tackle writing, writing retreats, and why writing can be, and probably should be, a community-based practice. Last month I went on a writing intensive workshop and retreat, and I recorded a few voice memos documenting my time. Academic Aunties producer, Dr. Nisha Nath joins us on the podcast and we reflect on the importance of creating space away from everyday life to think, to write, and to reflect. Thanks for listening!

Explicit Your Aunties Could Never YOUR AUNTIES COULD NEVER Your Aunties Could Never bring you entertaining no-nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say. AK, Farrah & Nana, are three friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavors and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status. The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture, and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.
