Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.

I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan. And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes

to spend with us today. In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning

in the work we do with kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling in Nashville,

Tennessee. Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding,

a little more practical help and a whole lot of hope. So pull up a chair and join us on this

journey from our little yellow house tiers. Raising Boys and Girls Podcast is brought to you

in partnership with Menno. Menno provides meaningful screen time and shared experiences for families

to help you grow in your fade together. Check them out at podcast.gomenno.com. That's podcast.gomminno.com.

We are so excited and honored to have Morgan Harper Nichols on the show. I talk to more girls that

are just so inspired by her poetry and a writing. And we want to tell you a little bit more about her.

So Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist and poet whose work is inspired by real life interactions

and stories. Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission

counselor and then as a full-time touring singer, songwriter, and musician. It was on the road that

she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share

her work online. In 2017 Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their

stories to her website. From there she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to

them before sharing the work publicly. All stories and names are kept private. The fruit of this

project is shared daily around social media in publications and various creative collaborations

and installations. As an artist, Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of brands including

Coach, Adobe, Vogue Singapore, Erie, and more. As a designer and author, her work has been

available many stores including Anthropology, Barnes & Noble, and Target. Some of our favorites.
