You can change a character's hair color, geography, age, or gender, but often what inhibits our voice is a concern that we'll offend someone we know. A parent. A sibling. A school mate.

So, what do we do? We whitewash the truth. Or we avoid writing our story altogether.

On today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore:

3 reasons you need to tell your story
Why secrets need to be unloaded
The power of compassion for yourself and yes, even for your oppressors
How to own your side of the truth
