I'm telling the story of María Cacao for #MythOff today :) I have been doing weeks of research on her. She is a goddess from the island of Cebu who grows cocoa, and sails in a golden ship periodically to America to sell her crops for fancy tableware. She lends the tableware out to local people when they need it for celebrations.

However, the absolute best thing about María Cacao is that she has a giant shrimp as a pet 🦐

Today on #WomensEpics:
Chandravati's Ramayana

This is a retelling of the Ramayana by a Bengali poet named Chandravati. She lived in the 16th century, and re-wrote the epic to distract herself from heartache.
Her retelling focuses on Sita's perspective, the horrors of war, and compassion between women that crosses battle lines. It survives to this day in the oral tradition.

Power, Purpose, and Historical Fiction — Meet Sam Foster

What does it mean to write #historicalfiction that’s both deeply researched and boldly personal?

In this new episode of Audio Signals #podcast on ITSPmagazine, I sit down with #author Sam Foster to talk about the creative process behind Thy Mother Is A Lioness, his newest work exploring powerful women in #Renaissance Italy and the hidden strength passed through generations.

We talked about:

🖋️ #Writing from experience vs. researching the unknown

📚 Blending truth with #fiction without rewriting #history

💡 #Creativity as a lifelong purpose—not just a profession

🖥️ Using #Substack to share stories directly with readers

It’s a story about #storytelling.

A reflection on identity, curiosity, and the drive to ask: Why?
