The systemic issues at the root of our stories with Brittany Means

Conversation Piece with Patrick Armstrong

On this week’s episode of Conversation Piece, author Brittany Means joins the show to talk about resisting dominant narratives and the ways systemic issues influence our stories, particularly their origins. Brittany shares her ongoing journey to stay present, how dominant narratives like resiliency can lead us down the wrong paths, and how these different things show up in her debut memoir, Hell if We Don't Change Our Ways (my favorite book of 2023!!!).
