I always learn so much from CeCe. 🤯Last night she said in her class on writing interiority, make sure in every scene your POV character has a reaction that surprises the reader. "Your reader should be saying, 'I should've seen that coming.'" Love to #learnwithcece @ceciliaclyra

That's Trevon (front and center) not long before his oldest brother Terrell (right) was shot and killed outside a church on the south side of Chicago. He's dedicated his life to protesting #gunviolence Hear how @trevonbosley1 continues to believe in change tomorrow on 2 Lives.

NEW 2 LIVES EPISODE Her whole life Pardis Mahdavi tried to belong in the US, then in Iran. Finally she decided to be a bridge between two cultures but it took an arrest by the morality police and a crisis of identity to get there. @pardismahdavi

Thrilled to hear 2 Lives on @NPRWeekend this morning! @ayesharascoe After hating her body most of her life @adibanelson gave birth to a daughter with severe disabilities. It changed her attitude and helped her to embrace herself.

lede: @LouderThanARiot was cut & I have been laid off. i have never worked with fiercer, funnier, smarter ppl. i am proud of the work we've done, this is npr's L not ours. my time @NPR has been more trying than i have words for. they talk mad talk, follow thru weak as hell.
🧵Louder Than A Riot has been cancelled by NPR. Our producers and editor have been laid off, although NPR would like everyone to stay on until June to finish publishing the show. We are taking some time to process what this looks like for our staff. 1/4

CNN #badass Christiane @amanpour canceled an interview with the Iranian President after she refused to wear a hijab saying, “We are in New York, where there is no law or tradition regarding headscarves.” This came amid protests over a woman dying at the hands of morality police.
Tuesday on 2 Lives "It really wasn't until I came out to Seattle (in my 30s) and had really excellent therapy and began writing about it, I was like, 'oh holy crap! I was not just having a difficult time (for a dark period in my 20s), I was literally homeless.'" #homelessness
