Episode 94: revelry

β€œDon't be willing to accept easy answers or easy resolutions, because if it's easy, it's probably not the whole story.”

Kara Lee Corthron is a playwright, a novelist, and a TV writer. Her forthcoming Young Adult novel DAUGHTERS OF JUBILATION is about a teenager in the Jim Crow era who discovers that she has magical abilities that make her powerful in a time when the world is telling her she is powerless. In this third installment of our episodes with the women who wrote FIERCE: ESSAYS BY AND ABOUT DAUNTLESS WOMEN, Kara tells us about her own journey as a writer, and why she chose to write about a woman who understood that sometimes to be fierce, you need to make some noise.
