About this listen

Join me on Leadership with Darrell W. Gunter as I sit down with the amazing Shedia Asiya Nelson—author, poet, playwright, educator, and youth advocate.

With over 15 books published, Shedia shares how writing became both her personal healing journey and a platform to inspire young voices everywhere. From children’s books that affirm cultural identity to plays that spark tough but needed conversations, her work is reshaping how we think about literature and leadership.

💡 Watch now to hear:

  • What sparked her creative explosion

  • How she writes for multiple audiences

  • Why literacy and healing are at the heart of her mission
