Ready to ditch the "starving artist" myth and thrive as a writer while staying true to your values? The Reverend Dr. Angela Yarber, an award-winning author and founder of Tehom Center Publishing, joins us to share her journey and her latest book, Queering the American Dream. Angela’s story—from traveling in a pop-up camper to being inspired by trailblazing women like Polly Murray and Gloria Anzaldúa—highlights the importance of dignity, kindness, inclusion, and spiritual activism.

We dive into the intersection of queerness and spirituality as Angela, a queer, half-Mexican American Baptist minister, talks about religious trauma and the struggles LGBTQIA+ individuals face within faith communities. She shares how staying ordained has been both empowering and challenging and why it’s crucial to heal from spiritual injuries.

Angela also explains why she started her publishing company to uplift marginalized voices and the importance of “passing the mic” in supporting these efforts. Plus, we discuss self-care as political warfare, a powerful metaphor from Audre Lorde, and explore strategies for thriving in flawed systems.

Join us for an inspiring chat about resilience, community, and how writers can live abundantly while making an impact!
