In this engaging episode, we welcome playwright, director, and essayist
Karen Malpede to share her inspiring journey through the world of
theater, identity, and social justice. Karen recounts her upbringing in
Evanston, Illinois, the loss of her father, and the challenges she faced
as a member of a mixed-marriage family during a time of racial and
cultural tension. From her early days feeling like an outsider in a
predominantly Presbyterian community to her transformative years in New
York, Karen's narrative reveals the profound impact of diversity and
community on her artistic voice.
