Shownotes Transcript

Wayetu Moore is a Liberian-American author and social entrepreneur. Her writing can be found in The New York Times and The Atlantic, among others. On June 2, she releases her second book and memoir, The Dragons, The Giant, The Women.

In this episode, Wayetu talks about her initial resistance to writing a story about the war in Liberia and how that changed, as she understood her own role in rewriting history. We also discuss how cultural exposure and a binary existence influence our world views.
