#19 Take Control of Your Narrative with Robin Richardson of Minola Review

In this episode, Rachel Thompson talks with Robin Richardson, founder of the Minola Review. She discusses how she overcame early critiques of her writing by men—critiques she internalized. And they talk about getting men to listen. Minola Review is named after the protagonist in The Taming of the Shrew after all. One theme of their conversation is taking control of your narrative."[Negative] voices like that aren't allowed in my life anymore and they were before and it has something to do with me. And I'm interested in women who can see those things about themselves and talk about them as well."Writing from Minola Review Discussed in the Episode:PALM TREES, POST­-RAPE by Cade LeebronBLITZED OUT by Lauren TurnerON TENDERNESS by Shannon BramerLULLABY by T.
