A couple of complicated, painful, and challenging conversations arose the last couple of days online related to who tells what story:
- Debbie Reese’s description of a dinner raising white privilege issues around storytelling.
- Questions here and here about Maggie Stiefvater’s participation on a “Writing the Other” panel and her response.

I read all of these and am still grappling with many questions and no answers. I found it odd that Stifvater could not name why she was invited to be on that specific panel for Nerd Con. Wasn’t it something that the organizers would have informed her in order to prepare for the discussion?
