Who Knows?

On this episode, we get to know Nicole Zelniker, a writer, two time published author, and all around amazing person! Nicole is the author of “Last Dance”, which is a book of short stories, and “Mixed”, which is nonfiction and contains interviews with mixed race families discussing what it means to be mixed. Nicole shares with us her journey as a writer from her first story about a duck named Bill all the way to publishing Last Dance, which was released in January. She tells us what she loves about writing, clues us in on what writers block feels like, as well as some of the other challenges she faces, and gives a bit of advice for aspiring writers (who remembers writing prompts!?!). She also reminds us of the importance of using your voice in whatever way you can to elevate the stories and experiences of those who the world may be trying to erase or push to the side.  I am so happy that Nicole and I found each other and were able to have this conversation to share with all of you!   Want more from Who Knows?
