Tabassam Shah is a historian and poet in Clarion who is interested in local activism and community development.

In this episode, Tabassam discusses the importance of voice in both writing and reading the work of others. She also talks about how, for her, writing is a critical part of representing voices that are often marginalized.
In our continuing mission to promote regional writers, photographers and storytellers, we are introducing yet another way for our followers and supporters to get to know the incredibly talented people who make The Watershed Journal possible. In these episodes, our writers will talk about the inspiration and methods behind their work.
