Episode 55 - Do Something, Say Something
On this week’s episode of Written Closure, I share my thoughts about the current state of the country as it relates to race and racism and what it means for all of us.
Written Closure is a weekly podcast where I, writer and host, Shirley De Leon, discuss topics, such as love, loss, pain, and resilience and read poems on these topics as a form of self-reflection. All poems are sometimes written and always read by me. Follow me on Instagram at @shiloudeleon. Like, share and subscribe to the podcast. If you love the show, please give it a 5-star review. Thank you for listening!
