Activism Through Literature: Tayler Simon's Mission & Liberation Is Lit
THG talks with the incredible Tayler Simon, a passionate podcaster and the visionary behind Liberation is Lit. Known as the Radical Reader, Tayler created Liberation is Lit to do more than just discuss books; she aims to ignite meaningful conversations and cultivate a strong community of readers who believe in the power of literature as a force for social change.
Tayler shares her journey into the #bookstagram community, where she sought out fellow advocates for liberation, only to find a stark contrast between mainstream book lovers who shunned political discussions and smaller platforms that embraced literature as a catalyst for change. Her lifelong love for reading, sparked by listening to books on cassette tapes as a child, has only grown, leading her to offer unsolicited book recommendations and dive deep into discussions about the stories that shape our world.
In 2019, Tayler took the leap and launched a blog dedicated to exploring how the books she read influenced her worldview and inspired movements towards liberation. Through this journey, she found a vibrant community of like-minded readers who recognize the transformative power of storytelling.
Join us as Tayler delves into the mission of Liberation is Lit—not just as a bookseller but as a movement dedicated to equipping radical readers with the tools to become activists. Her podcast, also titled Liberation is Lit, available on Spotify, serves as a powerful platform for exploring stories that amplify voices, challenge societal norms, and encourage understanding. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the intersection of literature and activism!
