In this powerful episode of Ink Speak , I share some of the origin story of Tempest Press , the new women-owned publishing company of mine and Chelsea Chatts amplifying underrepresented voices in a world drowning in sameness. Inspired by a poem from queer Indigenous poet Melachoir , I explore why follower count shouldn’t determine who gets heard , why we desperately need new voices , and how even one poem can ignite a movement. This episode is a rally cry for creators, dreamers, and misfits who feel unseen in traditional spaces—a reminder that beauty can still rise from the wicked , and your voice matters more than you know. 🎙 Topics include: The flaws of the current publishing industry Fighting gatekeeping with authenticity Creating impact beyond social media numbers Amplifying marginalized voices through art Building a future where beauty and truth lead the way How to persist in a wicked world 📣 Because we don’t need more noise—we need your voice.
