(Ep. 3) What Does It Mean to Write With Reverence? A Dialogue With Journalist & Creator Julia Craven
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with Julia Craven to talk about a word she shared when I asked what inspires her writing: reverence.
Julia is an award-winning journalist, the founder of Healthy Futures on Substack, and creator of The Library of Black Wellness. Her work sits at the intersection of storytelling, ancestry, and community care.
We talk about where writing begins, the role our communities play in shaping our voices, and how honoring the past can influence the stories we choose to tell now.
This conversation is thoughtful, grounding, and a reminder that the work we do rarely starts with us.
