In this episode, we sit down with author and publisher Liza May Read to unpack the real power of reading, representation, and why books still matter in a world built on distraction. We talk about how literacy shapes identity, why seeing yourself in stories changes everything, and the responsibility that comes with publishing for the next generation.
This isn't just about the books; its about access, culture, and what happens when young people are given language for their lives instead of silence. From the gaps in education to the quiet influence of stories, this conversation challenges how we think about learning, creativity, and impact beyond the classroom.
If you've ever wondered who decides which stories get told; or why reading feels optional when it should be essential; this episode is for you!!
