221. Claiming your author’s voice and building community

221. Claiming your author’s voice and building community

In this powerful conversation, writer and literacy advocate Tamela Julia Gordon joins me to explore what she calls the “pour and be poured” model of community: an intentional approach to giving and receiving that replaces transactional relationships with mutual care and connection. Tamela shares her personal journey—from finding basic stability to building deep emotional bonds—and how proximity, place, and presence shape the communities we create.

We also dig into the publishing industry’s ongoing lack of diversity, what that means for whose stories get told, and how readers and writers alike can be part of lasting change. Tamela offers a candid look at the realities of life as an author—the emotional highs and lows of publishing—and why embracing the identity of “writer” requires commitment far beyond a single book.

This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own circles of support, the stories you uplift, and the ways you show up for others. Whether you’re seeking deeper connection, navigating your creative path, or simply trying to live more intentionally, Tamela’s insights offer both grounding and inspiration.
