This week I have a lively conversation with author and literary activist Rasheda Ashanti Malcolm about building platforms for women of colour from the 1990s to today. She traces her path from founding Candace magazine to writing fiction, creating the WILDE Foundation, running writing retreats in Jamaica, and launching the H&F Writers’ Festival in West London. We discuss how technology and community remove gatekeepers, the healing power of journaling, and WILDE’s future plans to scale retreats, mentorship, and global collaborations.

Key takeaways:

  • Community and craft can coexist and strengthen each other.

  • Journaling helps survivors find voice and confidence.

  • Technology widens access and continuity beyond physical events.

  • WILDE seeks collaborators, mentors, and publishing partners to platform emerging writers.
