Stepping Into Truth: Conversations on Race, Gender, and Social Justice
Talking with Author and Editor Krishan Trotman
Season 3 Episode 14
Krishan Trotman
In this conversation editor and author Krishan Trotman and I talk about her book Queens of the Resistance in which she profiles Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Maxine Waters, and Elizabeth Warren. We also discuss how important it is for us to have representation in publishing if we're going to have a deeper understanding of our varied experiences. Also, if writing a book is on your bucket list have a listen, Krishan has some great suggestions.
This conversation, talking about badass women and the possibilities before us, gave me hope for the future and inspiration to keep going. I hope it does the same for you.
