In this episode, we’re joined by Talia Miracle, an enrolled member of the Ho-Chunk Tribe of Winnebago and Program Manager at the Little Free Library. Talia opens up about her impactful work leading the Indigenous Library Program, which increases access to Indigenous literature and fosters stronger, more inspired communities across the U.S. and Canada.
She shares how her own experiences with limited representation in literature helped shape her passion for addressing literacy disparities in Indigenous communities. Talia also lets us in on some personal updates, including the newest addition to her expanding family—a playful kitten—and a memorable meeting with the author of one of her new favorite books.
Tune in for a meaningful discussion on cultural empowerment through books, the joy of storytelling, and the critical role representation in plays in shaping futures.
