Poet Laureate Joy Harjo's Girl Warrior Guide - Full Uncut Conversation

This month we take a deep dive into the archives featuring timeless treasures from forward thinking authors both fiction and non fiction.

“We have to stand for what's right. You can't stand and watch a neighbor starving. We have to realize that ultimately we were created by a creator who loves diversity . . . The universal law is diversity. Universal law is love and connection. We're all connected.” - Joy Harjo

Description: We are in what today’s guest calls a dark night of our national soul. But this notion of becoming is what Joy Harjo, the renowned poet, performer, writer and activist of the Muscogee Creek Nation takes up in her career. She is just out with “Girl Warrior: On Coming of Age”, a guide, dedicated especially to Indigenous girls, for people trying to find their way in a time of transformation.
