À propos de cet audio

 Should authors write other races and cultures in their books?People have become sensitized to the point of fear of asking--but WE want you to ask us about race and culture!Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, queen of dictation from Episode 66, is back on the show to celebrate Native American Heritage Month.From Choctaw code talkers to Chinese cheerleaders, Sarah and I share candid stories about my childhood in NY and her mother’s experience of Forth Worth in the 70’s. We laugh about growing up as Other in different parts of the country (spoiler: I could have been a CHEERLEADER if I’d been born on a different coast), get emotional about honoring Sarah’s mother in a blanket ceremony, and talk frankly about when it's better to just leave a culture out of your book versus doing the hard work to get it right.Tune in to watch:• Sarah introduce herself in Choctaw and me butcher my people’s language• The terminology debate: Native American vs. American Indian vs. First American• Are sensitivity readers helpful?• Seeing 7 original Choctaw treaties in the National Archives vault• And answer the question: is it okay to write other ethnicities in our books?These are the big questions Sarah breaks down into bite-size, easily digestible pieces in her upcoming free Master Class: How to Earn Readers’ Trust Through Accurately Portraying Native American Characters Without the Fear of Getting It WrongNovember 18, 2025 at 12 p.m. CST.SIGN UP HERETimestamps:00:00 You Mean I Could Have Been a Cheerleader?!00:13 Choctaw Intro01:04 Native American?
