“Everybody Come Alive” with Marcie Alvis Walker

We are thrilled to have Marcie Alvis Walker, the creator of the

author of the compelling memoir "Everybody Come Alive: A Memoir
in Essays," as our special guest on this week's episode of the
Allender Center Podcast. Hosting this insightful conversation are
Rachael Clinton Chen and Linda Royster from the Allender Center.


Marcie shares a bit about her process of writing her debut book,
in which she beautifully shares her unique stories with
candidness. She skillfully interlaces the tapestry of her
cultural upbringing, along with her personal experiences
grappling with various forms of racism, perfectionism, and the
complex dynamics with her mother. Get ready to be inspired and
moved as we hear a glimpse into her powerful narrative, and be
