BONUS: Speaking on Red Birds and Grief

Back with another riveting episode for this bonus season, let’s welcome first-time author Diandra Ford-Wing! In conversation with Girls Write Now’s Creative Marketing Director, Chelle Carter-Willson, they discuss Diandra’s debut novel - “Red Bird”. In this story, Diandra details the tremendous pain she underwent after losing two of the most important women in her life. From nature, spirituality, to healing, our guests leave no leaf unturned in this beautiful reflection on the mental beast that is grief.
