In this episode of Move Ahead with Dalia, I sit down with author and poet Linda Peters to discuss her new book, "The Chronicles of George Floyd and Other Selected Writings". This powerful collection blends poetry and personal stories reflecting on the murder of George Floyd and the broader realities of injustice in America. But Linda’s work also reaches beyond that moment — offering deeply personal insights into her own life, including reflections on social movements, forgiveness, and family.

Raised on Chicago’s South Side during the civil rights era, Linda writes through the lens of a life shaped by race, identity, mental health, and motherhood. We talk about how writing helped her process grief, anger, personal struggles and healing. This conversation is honest, emotional, and full of wisdom you won’t want to miss. Take A Listen!
