This week's story is that of Dede Yocum.
(Content Warning: sexual assault, religious trauma, depression and anxiety)
Book lover, Taylor Swift lover, connoisseur of custom Starbucks drinks, and deeply funny and real person, Dede shares with us her story this week. She's experienced some heavy seasons of her life, and talks candidly about how those things have shaped her and her process through that. Dede and I also share about books and movies we've loved growing up and how those stories have provided comfort and company in difficult times.
You can connect with Dede on Instagram at @magical.days.ahead, on TikTok at @thatbookbabe and you can join Dede for book club as she and many other bookish gals read Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell on April 10th
