Silenced Women from History Finding Their Voices Through Indie Publishing

Описание: Systems that silence voices of the oppressed have flourished since the beginning of time, and the stories of brave young girls have faded into oblivion as that silence persists.

Ashli O'Connell is writing to give these resilient women back their voices.

The stories that make us uncomfortable are the ones that will change the world. Unfortunately, many of the systems that are built to silence us are still present and thriving today, even in the publishing industry. Join us as we chat with Ashli and learn more about:

Her shocking family history that became the inspiration for The Emmaline Project
How we can find the courage to break out of systems that aren’t for us and forge our own path
The challenges of both traditional and indie publishing and how she navigated them
And the power of storytelling to dismantling oppressive systems and change our world for the better.
