Black Writer Therapy Notes: Dr. Michele Boyd

Black Writer Therapy Podcast

Welcome to Black Writer Therapy Session Notes, where I delve into intimate revelations that uncover my journey as a writer and the radical literary moments that have shaped my path. Reflecting on the recording session with Dr. Michele Boyde of Inkwell Academic Writing Retreat opened me up to the struggles and triumphs I've encountered on my writing odyssey, inviting listeners to join her in the exploration of what it means to be a Black woman writer in today's literary landscape.

I share experiences and bravely delve into the vulnerability and strength I found within the creative process. I also find myself unveiling moments where I have found myself at the crossroads of doubt and determination, grappling with the pressures of conforming to predefined writing norms while striving to carve my authentic path.

This candid conversation sheds light on the struggles many writers face when trying to navigate their unique creative voices in the face of external expectations.

Throughout the episode, Ella invites listeners to reflect on their radical literary moments—those instances where they dared to defy convention and break free from the constraints of societal norms. She encourages embracing the power of radical self-expression and its transformative impact on individual storytelling.

As the session unfolds, I take you on my journey from self-doubt to self-discovery, inviting y'all to explore the depths of our creative journeys and the resilience required to overcome barriers in pursuing literary fulfillment. I learned from our conversation that peeling back the layers of my writing process creates a space for listeners to connect, empathize, and find solace in the shared experiences of navigating the intricate terrain of creativity and self-expression.

This is Black Writer Therapy—Session Notes where healing, empowerment, and creativity converge to feed my writer's heart, mind, and soul.
