Truth-telling, memory, and vision from the people of Battle Creek.
Reading as a Practice of Freedom
In the midst of the pandemic, I found myself craving stories that could hold both beauty and struggle. Reading became more than escape—it became a practice of freedom. I began choosing books that reflected the fullness of lived experience, stories that helped me imagine something better. This blog is a reflection on how reading has shaped me, held me, and offered a path back to myself.
