Episode 011 | Writing Between Worlds: An Essay on Race and Literary Separatism
Hi Beloveds!
Welcome back to volume two of season one of Pen of the Beloved: A Creative Audio Diary! I'm excited to be back and start National Poetry Month off with an episode featuring one of my most recent literary essays on writing.
As a grant writer and a fiction and poetry writer, much of what I do and how I do my work is highlighted by personal experience, inspired by other writers, and such. As a Black woman, much of my writings are often reflective of my experience living a life marked by the essence of difference and otherness due to the existence of race. As someone who believes wholeheartedly that our differences make room for creative and communal expression, I see the embedment of race in my work as simply an expression of the world I live in and the society around me. .Inspired by Alice Walker's In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens, I'm excited to share this piece with you!
Sincerely,
Antavia, Pen of the Beloved

Who you are cannot be summed up by what you do. As human beings, we have the tendency to make our actions and our jobs, even our hobbies, our personality, and our identity. However, as a creative person, you are multi-faceted, a being designed to be a part of the myriad of changes that happen in life on both an individual and collective scale.
I hope today's episode inspires you to walk in your creativity today.
Stay creative, Beloveds!

Episode 004| If You’re Creating that Make You a Creator

I hope today's episode leaves you feeling inspired to walk in your creativity today.
