So, what's a ritual? And how can you start one? As the Her Voice Team were stuck at home for a few days (thanks to another Dallas ice storm), we had plenty of time to chat with our own Megan Griffin about her recent post over on the blog "The Sacred Rituals of Reading and Writing in Community."&nbsp; 
Dear listeners, if you are wondering what makes something a ritual, you are in luck! After defining a ritual, and what makes something sacred, you'll learn how to create rituals in your daily life and the role of community in these practices. We hope this episode provides an opportunity to slow down and reflect as we continue through 2023 together.

Admit It - You Love Rom-coms

How can teachers use the classroom to to teach writing and reading in ways that not only build our student writers’ critical thinking and communication skills, but also support their overall wellness by developing these skills as supports and outlets for their hearts and minds? Her Voice at the Table emerged as a space to unpack, debrief, discuss, and share our own learning process as we attempt to innovate our writing curriculum and think creatively about supporting the talented and extraordinary students we work with every day.
