14. Speaking on Artful Mysteries

This week we have the pleasure of hearing a conversation between Mentee Alum Imani Okwuosa and Mentee Ijeoma Asonye as they dive into an excerpt from Ijeoma's forthcoming graphic novel, Allergy Girl. They touch on everything from FX's The Bear to why Ijeoma calls herself the human hummingbird to the theme of belonging. We hope you enjoy this high-spirited discussion about art, being an Issa Rae, and writing anti-heroes.

Girls Write Now
Speaking in First Draft
Speaking In First Draft is an interview podcast platforming the current and next generation of storytellers from the nonprofit Girls Write Now. Released in March 2023, members of the Girls Write Now community share a draft of one of their works in progress and discuss both the writing process and what creative expression looks like to them. Listeners will have the opportunity to engage with the inner machinations and perspectives of writers, producers, and artists from a diversity of episodes and stories.
