#CoffeeChats is an ongoing series for casual conversations about goals as authors that will often feature special guests. I cohost this YouTube web-series with Mackenzie Finklea.

As Ms. Victoria would say, “Get the book.”
Talking to Ms. Victoria, Ms. Ruth, and Ms. Andrea was some of the most wholesome fun I’ve had in a while. Check out the episode.
“Have you ever heard of language justice? Tune in to today’s podcast to hear Alisha’s conversation with author Kyra Ann Dawkins. We are talking about language justice, her book The We and The They and what it’s like to be an author.”
–Alisha Wielfaert
It was so refreshing to talk about how oral history and language justice inform the rest of my work!
“What does it mean to hono(u)r the voices around us? How can we use the power of storytelling as a catalyst for positive change in a world that glamo(u)rizes conformity?… In our conversation, Kyra shares her story and more specifically, talks about her Autistic and Nonverbal sister, Kendra, and how she has shown Kyra what it means to be true to who you are and to hono(u)r all voices.”
–Hailey Rodgers
This was such an empowering conversation! I hope Hailey and I were able to inspire action in healthy allyship.
