Talia Mingey - Poet, Survivor, Educator (#101)

Our guest this episode is a spoken word poet, educating people about the trauma of sexual assault. She’s a survivor. She’s a writer. She’s a performer. She’s an educator. I love her bio on “Unwritten” - Talia Mingey is a writer through and through. Her first love will always be poetry. She competed on the 2018 National Poetry Slam team in Chicago. She writes for self expression and social justice and performed at the 2018 March To End Rape Culture. She also does freelancing work and has been published on Thought Catalog. Currently, she's ghostwriting a novel and writing for Unwritten. She's constantly overwhelmed by all this but happy to be paid to do what she loves. “I would want to talk about love, if I had to tell my last story. Love is what got me through most of that [trauma]. I would want to write a love poem to everyone who’s meant something to me.” - Talia Mingey
