Speaking up for what's right without fear Artwork

Roundy's Rants, Raves and Reviews

As an English, Theatre, and Speech and Debate Teacher, I've got issues and thoughts on issues. My students call them my "rants". Everyone has their soapboxes, their certainties/beliefs, and each voice is important and should be heard! So, let's Rant together!

I also firmly believe that literature of all forms makes up a part of who we are, our beliefs/thoughts, and what we do with them to create.

In this podcast we discuss:

1) Rants: What's your certainty/soapbox? Let's have a respectful discussion about it.

2) Raves: The Literature/authors who have inspired you, your life, and your work.

3) Reviews: A discussion and review of your work (whatever you do), or what you believe others should be reading/watching/listening to and why.

This is a video about Speaking up for What's Right without Fear

In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on the challenges and responsibilities of expressing beliefs amidst a conflict-averse environment. Despite my natural inclination to avoid conflict, I've realized the necessity of standing up for what I believe in. I'll discuss the importance of civil discourse and my plans to expand my platform to promote positive communication and understanding. Inspired by historical figures and my faith, I'm committed to sharing my voice and encouraging others to do the same. Join me as I navigate the complexities of balancing peace, truth, and love in today's world.
