You read and write everyday. Whether it’s reading your favorite song’s lyrics, writing a grocery list, crafting a text to your best friend, or reading and writing for school or work. In fact, we use our literacy so much that we take it for granted. What about the centuries of those who were denied this powerful tool? Or the inspiring female pioneers like Phillis Wheatley who through her poetry used her literacy as a vehicle of activism against slavery? My podcast, “Our Words, Our Voice” explores the way in which to embrace your literacy is to amplify your voice.
