Writing and parenting are often viewed as incompatible endeavors, but these parents are here to put that idea to bed. In this open-hearted conversation, writers
Ren Cedar Fuller,
Uma Kukathas,
Beth Alvarado,
Lisa Laughlin, and
Joe Wilkins will discuss drawing inspiration from their children, parenting from the heart, and the ways these two roles enhance, rather than inhibit, one another. Joe Wilkins and Lisa Laughlin’s work focuses on the influences of place and the environment on family. Ren Cedar Fuller, Uma Kukathas, and Beth Alvarado write about the unique experiences of parenting within diverse and multicultural households. Don't miss this important and heart-led conversation on parenting and writing.
