Hi friendly readers,
I had every intention of sending out a letter on Wednesday. That morning, I had a really exciting conversation for RYWY that got me super energized, not just about my hopes for making this a strong resource for writer but because I feel very lucky to talk with other people whose voices and purviews about media center equity and not ego. I signed off Zoom with a glowy little feeling only to learn that white nationalists were seizing the Capitol. There was absolutely no reason for me to be in your inbox. I’m still speechless but not shocked. I spent the day retweeting and ended it reading the poem “If You Are Over Staying Woke” by Morgan Parker.
I’ll be here next week with a really nice chat with Jezebel senior writer and author of Larger Than Life: A History of Boy Bands From NKOTB to BTS, Maria Sherman. She is a true delight of a human and I’m so happy to share this with you.
