Author and troublemaker Rachel A. Rosen joins us for a candid discussion on where activism meets imagination. We dig into how fiction can challenge systems, spark dialogue, and reflect the world we’re fighting to change. From the craft behind politically charged storytelling to the responsibility (and limits) of art, this conversation pulls back the curtain on writing with purpose. Without losing the magic of story.
