Finding your voice with Ashley C. Ford
A Creative Care Package for you
Hi friend,
We’re just a few days out from our next Studio Visit with my dear pal Ashley C. Ford—this Sunday, June 27, at 1pm ET.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you should! Ashley is an amazing writer and delightful human, and I can’t wait for this conversation about taking risks, finding your voice, and writing yourself into the world.
Named in Forbes 30 Under 30 in media and in Variety’s New Power of New York, Ashley has written essays and profiles for a number of major publications. Earlier this month, Ashley published her New York Times best-selling memoir, Somebody’s Daughter—the story of a childhood defined by the looming absence of her incarcerated father.
In light of our upcoming talk, I wanted to send along a creative care package of her work. Below you’ll find a link to our Bookshop, where you can grab a copy of Somebody’s Daughter. You’ll also find her cover story of Serena Williams in Allure magazine, her powerful talk about imagination, and her poignant interview on the Longform Podcast.
Studio Visits and our Book Club are part of the paid subscription that supports the Isolation Journals. Become a paid subscriber to join us!
Sending love, and hope to see you soon—
Suleika
