I've spoken a lot about ADHD and other mental health conditions that can impact our creative world, but what about learning disabilities?

Learning disabilities are conditions that affect a person's ability to learn information, including reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking, despite having normal intelligence.

Unfortunately, individuals with learning disabilities, along with other forms of disabilities, are often overlooked. Less than 1% of writers in the TV industry are disabled, despite 29% of the U.S. population having disabilities... yikes!

Today, I'm interviewing speech pathologist Virginia Taylor to discuss this matter. Virginia Taylor runs her own private practice as a speech-language pathologist specializing in literacy intervention. She works with clients of all ages, including children and adults, in Columbia, South Carolina, and through teletherapy in other areas.

I remember when I did plays and musicals. That was a fun time and so long ago. I can't believe it's been over 10 years since I was in a musical.

In today's episode, I had the special honor of interviewing Playwrigther, Camille Simone Thomas.

Camille Simone Thomas is a playwright and creative located in the Bronx. She’s a 5th generation Detroiter through her father’s side and a first-generation Jamaican through her mother's. It’s important for her to name this because her work most often interrogates cultural legacies, familial healing, spirituality + ancestral wisdom, and the general kicking and screaming of how Black femmes get free despite the oppressive forces of colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy.

Her plays have been workshopped at New York Theatre Workshop, Playwrights Horizons, Sanguine Theatre Company, Blackboard Playwriting series, Lime Arts Theatre Company, American Slavery Project, The Obie Award-winning Harlem9 and Detroit Public Theatre Company, Dixon Place, Workshop Theatre, Barter Theatre Company, The National Women's Theatre Festival, The Brick, and more!

Golly... writing is just super freaking hard y'all. That's just in general too. If writing were that easy everyone would be doing it, and it's a thousand times harder for those who struggle with mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, OCD, learning disabilities, and many many more.

I've recently fallen back into my passion for writing and I've been looking for ways to improve my writing process. I know I'm not alone in facing challenges when it comes to writing, so I researched and created a list of 11 techniques that can help anyone kick-start their writing. Whether you're working on a script, blog, book, or anything else, I'm confident that these tips will have a positive impact on your writing journey.
