The Afterword on How Diverse Books Support Empathy

In a time of divisive discourse, empathy appears to be a missing element in the fabric of some of our conversations. Join us for a timely chat about stepping into the shoes of others as we welcome poet Glenis Redmond and behavior specialist Tyson Wright to our table. We talk about diverse literary works and how they can influence our mindsets, which creates space for empathy. 

Glenis is a traveling poet who teaches the creative process of writing and presenting poetry. Her books include: What My Hand Say, Monumental, & Under The Sun. 

Tyson has been a police officer and a classroom teacher and is currently a behavior interventionist. He is also a football coach and is married with four daughters.
