The PageTurners w/Elgin Bailey
Manage episode 310762076 series 3071777
Everything I thought I wanted, and most of needed to know, I found between the pages. Who I am as a prevention specialist, a veteran, a community activist, an older brother, a father, a husband, a family, a Black man, was a host of life happening and me emerging at different points in different ways. What gave me language for what was happening, what I was experiencing, and who I was and am becoming? The pages. The pages give me language. The pages make things make sense. The pages challenge me. The pages push me. The pages help me imagine a whole new world. The pages give me tools to thrive in the crazy one we’re in. My folks tell me I’m resilient, wise, and passionate. *chuckle* They’re not wrong. All of those things were nurtured through the pages. Come and turn life’s pages with me. See what you see in the world around you. See what you find in yourself.
