The Collective welcomes novelist, playwright, dramaturge and screenwriter, Colette Freedman (@colettefreedman on Instagram ) on KQBH 101.5fm or kqbhla.com.
We chat about the importance of diversity in the classroom, creating art that represents the stories of women, what inspired her to become a playwright, learning how to listen, doing what brings us joy, challenging ourselves to grow beyond fear to create from a new place, and more.

We are all apart of the collective. It is not a special group or community out of anyone’s reach. The trees, the earth, the plants, the insects, the animals, and humans are all apart of the collective. We each have something to give to the world and our communities around us. It’s in knowing how to care for the ones we love, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. It is all self-care. Community care is self-care. And together we are more than community, we are like the stars singing in the sky. We are music and our voices are the hum of the universe. Because we are of the earth and things of stars, and so is every thing on this earth.
Thank you for listening in on the conversation. I hope that we can all come together to create positive change.
What inspires you to create?
