Shownotes Transcript

Join host Ian Henzel on Bold Voices as he sits down with the incredible Sandra Butler, author of Leaving Home at 83! 📖 At 83, Sandra isn't just telling her story—she's breaking the silence, challenging ageism, and redefining LGBTQ representation in literature.

🔹 How does childhood shape our identity and relationship with language? 🔹 Why is silence sometimes more dangerous than words? 🔹 What does it mean to age in a world that often overlooks LGBTQ elders?

Sandra shares raw, insightful reflections on writing, trauma, and the power of telling our truths—no matter our age. Don't miss this powerful conversation!
