In this episode of The Written Compass, your host Dr. Shana Hartman dives into the idea that Writing is an Act of Freedom. Setting the stage, language, and writing when taught in a school setting can be oppressive, particularly to marginalized communities. Dr. Hartman will discuss how this is impactful for business owners when trying to share their message.

Shana Hartman is a Ph.D. turned embodied writing coach.
