Interview with Tameka Young---a spectacular writer, pop culture enthusiast, and one of my best friends. She talks about her experience taking up space as a writer and shares what she's learned about how to be the main character in her own life.
I'm Kelsey Toney. Welcome to Space Not Taken–a place to reflect on space we’ve surrendered, brag about space we’ve reclaimed, and learn how to take up more space in our own lives.
Despite what our fears or our foes might tell us, we are allowed to have opinions, we’re allowed to be unliked, we’re allowed to speak up, and we’re allowed to take up space.
So, write your songs.
Release your videos.
Have the passionate argument
Raise your hand and volunteer.
Wear the unreasonably hot dress.
Refute the misinformation.
Share your expertise, or hell… just your own opinions.
Make waves.
Stand taller.
Dream bigger.
It’s okay to take up space.
I promise, there’s plenty of room.
So, let’s take some back…together.
This is Space Not Taken.
