If you are a BIPoC writer, Reed, Write, & Create, is the podcast you need to stay motivated and inspired to write. Award-winning author, educator, and creative writing coach, Lori L. Tharps ( ”Hair Story,” ”Kinky Gazpacho,” and ”Substitute Me”) knows how hard it is to stay committed to your writing projects - whether you’re working on that debut novel, a gut-wrenching memoir, or an essay about your trip around the world. Writing can be your passion, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Even if you’re a seasoned author. On the show, Lori is here to serve as your creative-writing coach and she wants to help you tap into your divine right to write. You’ll get inspiring pep talks and literary life lessons based on the lives of our BIPoC literary ancestors. Think Toni Morrison, Lorraine Hansberry, Phillis Wheatley e.t.c. You’ll also hear inspiring interviews with contemporary, best-selling, BIPoC authors who share actionable writing tips and techniques to help improve your craft and better understand the business of writing and the publishing industry. If the idea of having your very own creative writing coach sounds like just what you need to optimize your writing life, then this is the podcast for you. New episodes are released on Mondays.

On episode 13 of My American Meltingpot, I’m doing my first solo show in defense of diversity. I felt I needed to take this opportunity to defend my favorite word, "diversity," because right now it seems like it's the word everybody loves to hate. I want to drag diversity out of the mud and restore it to its rightful place in our social activism lexicon. Here's what I share in this episode:
• How I became diversity’s biggest fan,
• Who hates diversity and why?
• My personal definition of diversity.
• And finally, my two versions of the future; In version A, we continue to dismiss diversity and it doesn't end well. In version B, we learn to embrace diversity and live happily ever after. Or something like that.

Laurie, I love your podcasts and they keep getting better and better. Thank you for inspiring me. I started to write a blog on diversity and oneness and this blog cast has given me a lot of incorporate. I love the way you’ve articulated what I was thinking, so I hope you don’t mind if I use some of your phrases. —Ridvan
