Could only find an audio of this, it was poignant but felt like a lengthy podcast episode. Judging by the title, I thought it would be filled with more advice on writing trauma. Most of it covered Roxane Gay's own experiences post-Hunger, returning to Yale and at the end more about collective trauma primarily COVID and anti-Black police violence. It was interesting, but not what I expected.
