b"If you find it easy to forget your strengths as a writer, you\\u2019re not alone. There are so many voices around us all the time\\u2014in our podcasts, our reading, even our music\\u2014that can make us wonder what we might be missing in comparison. Nonfiction writer and The Inner Loop\\u2019s Author\\u2019s Corner program manager Abi Newhouse takes us through the ways she works to remember her own voice when, as an editor and podcast producer, others\\u2019 voices rule her working world. Plus, \\u2018tis the season: she offers us a prompt on twisting a traditional dish or dessert to tell a larger story about your own culture in this Inspiration Takeover, a series of mini-episodes with different writers who offer us a little dose of inspiration. Abi Newhouse is a writer, editor, and audio producer living in Washington, DC. A graduate of George Mason University's MFA in creative nonfiction, her work won The Hunger Journal's 2021 Spring Prose Contest and can be found in The Rumpus and The American Scholar, among others. A grant recipient of DC\\u2019s Commission on the Arts & Humanities, she is at work on a book of essays."
