In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Khadijah Queen, esteemed poet and author known for her powerful exploration of identity, vulnerability, and strength through poetic form and narrative innovation.
Join us as Khadijah shares what led to the creation of her new memoir Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea which explores her time as a sailor in the US Navy as well as other women who have been erased from the common narrative of life at sea. It is a discussion that asks us to consider not only how a person can serve while retaining their autonomy but also whether institutions serve individuals and if the answer is no, then what are they designed to serve?
