Exciting #bookmail today! Shaka Senghor was a featured speaker at Sounds True‘s Healing Trauma Summit this month, and he spoke about the power of writing to transform lives. His life story is a great journey of redemption. Alexander Chee‘s book has some great advice for writers, so I ordered it before returning the library‘s copy. #writersoflitsy #writersonwriting #race #trauma
Reviewsbylola I really enjoyed Shaka Sengor‘s book. Very inspiring. I bet he would be excellent to hear in person. 6y
Louise @Reviewsbylola That‘s good to hear! His talk at the Healing Trauma Summit was beautiful. He spoke about how he had gradually come to understand how childhood trauma had set him on the path that led him to prison and that recognizing his original inner wholeness helped him to transform the trauma and forge a new future for himself. Writing helped him to organize and clarify his thoughts along that path. (edited) 6y
