Lisa Bird-Wilson

<p>217 | Lisa Bird-Wilson</p> <p>I am thrilled to introduce you to today’s guest, Lisa Bird-Wilson, the author of the phenomenal novel, Probably Ruby. We talk about what it means to be Indigenous and adopted into a white family and how she has now spent decades exploring her Metis identity. Lisa shares some behind-the-scenes info about the process of writing Probably Ruby, why she’s currently writing a memoir, and the importance of having that history preserved for her children.</p> <p>During this interview, there were some challenges with sound, and unfortunately, I was distracted by my ailing dog and didn’t do my best work. I apologize to Lisa that I didn’t catch some poor audio quality moments that I normally would have caught during recording.</p> <h2><a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/217">Full Show Notes Here</a></h2> <hr /> <h2>Recommended Resources</h2> <ul> <li>Probably Ruby by Lisa Bird-Wilson</li> <li>Just Pretending by Lisa Bird-Wilson</li> <li>The Red Files by Lisa Bird-Wilson</li> <li><a href="https://www.nationalhealingfoundation.com/">The Sixties Scoop Foundation: www.nationalhealingfoundation.com</a></li> </ul> <h2>Connect With Us</h2> <ul> <li>Lisa Bird-Wilson: <a href= "https://lisabirdwilson.com/">lisabirdwilson.com</a> | <a href= "https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/669226/probably-ruby-by-lisa-bird-wilson/9780385696685"> Probably Ruby</a>- Haley Radke: <a href= "https://twitter.com/haleyradke">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/haleyradkepodcaster">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href= "https://twitter.com/adopteeson">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast">Facebook</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Subscribe</strong></p> <p><a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL2Fkb3B0ZWVzb24ubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M%3D"> Goo
