show moreOur guest, Javacia Harris Bowser, is an award-winning freelance journalist and the founder of See Jane Write, which a friend of hers once called “the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pens.”
See Jane Write is a website and community for women who write and blog that Javacia founded in 2011 in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama.
Her newly released book, Find Your Way Back, is a collection of essays that demonstrate how Javacia used writing to achieve some of her wildest dreams such as being a public speaker, having her own column, and being her own boss. The book also explores how writing, self-love, and faith helped her overcome her worst nightmare: a cancer diagnosis in 2020.
Today, See Jane Write serves and brings together women from across the country and around the world. Named one of Birmingham’s Top 40 Under 40, Javacia believes we can all write our way to the life of our dreams.
