Ep. 8: "Building Empathy Through Nuance" - with storyteller Natalia Quintana-Feliciano

In our eighth episode, we welcome Natalia Quintana-Feliciano, a Puerto-Rican & Colombian storyteller, poet, artist, and student reporter based in Washington, DC. She currently works as a communications and event coordinator at a health policy think tank. She has also worked at PBS KIDS, and has written for several award-winning publications. We discuss the complicated relationship between Puerto Rico and the Continental United States, as well as the many layers of what it means to be American; her creative writing process and her muses, including the "vengeful woman"; how local journalism can build empathy; and the importance of feeling seen in children's media as we grow up.For more information on Natalia, please see photos (and the episode transcript) here: ⁠⁠https://crossworld-puzzles.com/episode8-natalia/
