At age 15, told adoptive parents gonna write books one day. They frowned due to mediocre grades. Suggested sales or trade school. Today, 40 years later, my memoir Dear William, dealing with family, made Publisher’s Weekly national bestseller list. Moral: Never doubt a child.

Love @Jaemyn1 for who he is, what he about for years now. He’s been a community supporter and cheerleader since day one. Take a look to see how he celebrating the Tenn win on the Oxford Square, and you ll have an idea of who he is. Jaemyn’s party is a double scoop. It’s no secret also that The Oxford Creamery is where Jaemym often took recruits last year to give them a taste of Oxford outside of a bar as he worked like a coach to build the roster. He’s a winner long before last night.

"Take it easy on the Oxford Square." -Chris Beard's final message to Jaemyn Brakefield, Matt Murrell. Brakefield says he's going to Oxford Creamery.

Susan Akin was the last Miss America from Mississippi. Since 1985, Akin’s journey has seen the triumph of victory, the heartbreak of struggle and resilience from addiction. For Reckon, @dmagee_writer profiles Akin and how she's finding peace at age 60 reckon.news/news/2024/09/m…

Not to mention a pet lion and a famous Klan murder. Seriously, there has been some good reporting about toxic pageant culture in the past year and this story really highlights the long arc that brought forth that reckoning. Thanks to @dmagee_writer for bringing it to us

Thankful for Susan Akin’s courage, allowing me to tell this story without boundaries. It’s an important American story, amplified by her work and success in recovery. Great to be back with the story as a journalist. That this one melds with my work in advocacy is even sweeter.

A dream come true on today’s latest A Little Crazy podcast episode — my daughter Mary Halley (Magee) Carlson is the guest, and she talks eating disorder recovery, social media fears and management, healing from family trauma, young motherhood, and more. This one worth the time. open.spotify.com/episode/4Mu1MT…

I’m often asked when speaking in schools short on resources for counselors and aiding students in mental health, what can they do? Teach expressive writing, I say. It’s free, and it’s healing. The research and benefit is clear, and students need. #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTF6hjFDK/

Not nearly enough attention is given to men and their mental health. Get this book.

Back in the day on this platform, before only screaming about politics and sports drew attention, someone like me could share that they have a new memoir out today and that it’s vulnerable and frightening, written to help other men my age who secretly face pressure and fear that they can’t do it all, see that there’s not only hope but a way out, through faith and better-managing distraction, and find needed support. Well, the truth is my new memoir, A Little Crazy about the very thing, is out today, and I could use some support. Because — I’m a little afraid. I’m scared somebody will read my book, and what I reveal, and see me as less. Yet, I’m afraid at the same time that nobody will read it. That’s the crazy, conflicted mind of what writers face. But I pray that this book, like my previous memoir, Dear William, helps someone. Just one someone. And then, my fear will turn to the satisfaction that keeps us writers of trauma, hope, and healing coming back for more, despite the fear.

When I speak in schools and colleges and universities about mental health I’m often asked: what more can we do? Assign expressive writing, I say, since research is clear that such exercises in journals or even books like me improve our mental health.
