A Big Announcement about the Future of this Podcast

Welcome to 2021. It’s a new year and I’m ready for something different. Not just for this world and the United States, but for this podcast. So, I’m making a change.

I don’t want to talk about racism anymore.

What do I want to talk about? Something that lights me up. Something that makes me excited. Something that I wake up thinking about and fall asleep dreaming about. Something I really and truly love. Books! Yes, books. Multicultural books to be specific. Books written by authors of color, books that center the experiences of people of color. Books that share the stories of different cultures colliding or collaborating. Be clear, I still want to be an anti-racism warrior, but rather than dissect the damage racism imparts, I want to show people what’s possible through stories. And I want to inspire people of diverse backgrounds to write their own stories. Because multicultural stories matter and they can be the thing that sparks the change we’re all still waiting for.

On episode 58, I’m sharing how this is all going to play out on the podcast. I’ll talk about the guests who are coming on the show, the topics we’ll be discussing and I’ll be asking for your input on a new name for the show.

I’m so excited for this change and I hope you’ll continue to tune in to the Meltingpot so you can enjoy the literary love fest for multicultural books that I am creating.
