Today, I have the pleasure and honor of interviewing Marcus Harrison Green.
Marcus is the publisher of the South Seattle Emerald, and a columnist with the Seattle Times.\\xa0
Growing up in South Seattle, he experienced first-hand the impact of one-dimensional stories on marginalized communities, which taught him the value of authentic narratives. After an unfulfilling stint in the investment world during his twenties, Marcus returned to his community with a newfound purpose of telling stories with nuance, complexity, and multidimensionality with the hope of advancing social change.
This led him to become a writer and to found the South Seattle Emerald. He was awarded the Seattle Human Rights Commissions\\u2019 Individual Human Rights Leader Award for 2020.
On a more personal note, Marcus is a word nerd. He is part of our community, and when he reached out to share that he would be publishing his first collection of essays\\u2014Readying to Rise\\u2014I knew we had to have him on the show.
