let's dive into some Morrison!

last year I read A Life of Own's Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again by Joanna Biggs, where she explores several different writers and their new beginnings. I vowed this year to pick one writer she spotlighted, read one of their works and do some digging on the interwebz to learn more about them

first up -- Toni Morrison! this video is part reflection, part review sprinkled with some context around how her books were born. I had so much fun working on this, I hope you enjoy watching it :)
