Now on Spotify and Substack, Decolonial Liberation with Revolutionary Women. Author, activist, and television news network book reviewer Bonnie Hearn Hill comes onto The Collective for a great discussion on collective revolutionary action and creation. We chat about performance, failure, transformation beyond the desire of perfection, growth beyond what others have "reduced" us to, reoccurring themes in our lives, and when she marched Dolores Huerta.
Bonnie is a White Picket Fence author. Look for her short story REDUCTION, in December, 2024.
Bio:
Bonnie Hearn Hill is the author of 16 traditionally published novels, numerous essays and short stories, and a poetry chapbook, Forgotten California. She has co-hosted a Central California television news network’s book segment since 2002, and she loves everything about writing even when she hates it. Bonnie holds an MFA from Antioch University Los Angeles. Publishers Weekly called The River Below, her last novel, “emotionally involving…a poignant standalone…as much a story about friendship and loss as it is a mystery.” Bonnie’s mantra is “You can fix anything except a blank page. Keep writing.”

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. May this only be a beginning towards healing.
