Written In Melanin

Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Written in Melanin Podcast.

Today, I'm here with the amazingly talented Jennifer Bush-Harris. She is a blogger and an indie author from St. Louis, Missouri. An alumni of University of Missouri-St. Louis, and the mother of 2 teenage daughters. She is currently compiling her portfolio to pursue her MFA, and when she's not writing, she enjoys road trips, baking, and film noir.

And I'm also going to throw in that she is the host of the Writer's Block Podcast, a podcast for all things writing and writing adjacent. After you finish listening to this podcast episode, be sure to head over to hers and give it a listen.

In today's episode, I want to share some things I've learned about what to expect when you're expecting to publish your first book. Deciding to publish your book yourself is a major decision and there's a lot that goes into it. That being said, there's still a lot of mystery surrounding publishing and I'm hoping to clear that up a little.

Today, I am here with Joya Goffney. She is an author from New Waverly, a small town in East Texas. In high school, she challenged herself with to-do lists full of risk-taking items like ‘hug a random boy’ and ‘eat a cricket,’ which later became the inspiration behind her debut novel, Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry. With a passion for Black social psychology, she moved out of the countryside to attend the University of Texas in Austin, where she still resides.

And today, she's joining me on the podcast to discuss romance, traditional publishing, and her latest book: Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl.

Today, I am here with Sheldon Theragood, the author of "Whatever It Takes, Walking Through God's Purpose". After realizing that playing basketball on the collegiate and professional levels was not in God's plan for him, he went on to become a police officer, youth mentor, and advocate. He encourages young people to set goals in their lives, have a plan, and to diligently seek what it is that God has planned for them. His non profit organization, TheraGood Deeds, provides mentoring, counseling, and outreach opportunities focused on making a positive impact in the lives of youths.
And today, he's joining me on the podcast to discuss the importance of finding your purpose and seeing it through.

Welcome to episode #30.

Complete transparency here: today's episode was going to be on a completely different topic. But, it was heavy on my mind to talk about time and being patient with yourself and your process, so here we are.
