Rolling in the Deep: On Tough Breaks, Big Growth, and Getting Back Up Again -with Kiersten Greene

Sequestered twice over (once in the the throes of parenthood, again in the ache of a pandemic), Kiersten Greene found a lifeline on roller skates. An activity they loved in their youth, the practice of starting anew turned into a daily meditation, a discipline, a port for someone unmoored by back-to-back episodes in losing their identity.

An Assistant Professor who has been studying Digital Literacy since we were picking Top Ten friends on our MySpace pages, Kiersten turned to Instagram to document their progress on four, tiny wheels. And then they fell. Hard.

Broken bones are more than broken bones when they sweep you off your feet. Sequestered now a third time, Kiersten had to sit still, ache, heal, and surrender. Their partner took over every aspect of daily life, carrying the weight of a family and Kiersten's broken ankle/heart on his back. Kiersten watched in awe and discomfort.

Join accomplished author, professor, and ROLLER SKATING BADASS Kiersten Greene and I, and see what happens when you are forced to slow down and eventually start back up again.
