Podcast: Who Owns Your Truth?
In this episode I discuss our book club selection, The Mother of Black Hollywood by Jenifer Lewis, and how the group was split into two camps with completely opposite reactions to the book. When writing a memoir, do you own the entire process? Or, are the other people involved have a right to address your account of the experience and how you convey the interactions? I would love to hear from you on this topic. Listen to Barbara Howard’s Podcast on Spotify.
