Sisterhood: Liz Plank & Emilie Plank

Welcome to a new series where we celebrate sisterhood. Our biological sisters, and the ones who show up and carry us through life. We celebrate the timeless and invisible bonds that mysteriously tie us together. Liz Plank and Emile Plank are both writers. Liz Plank is a journalist and an award-winning author. You know her from MSBC, the Man Enough Podcast with Justin Baldoni and Race to 35 with Monica Padman. (BTW – Liz and Monica just announced that they are starting a new podcast where they will answer your questions, so be sure to send them one here: https://hello243414.typeform.com/to/GE5qpufa?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email!) Emilie Plank is a teacher and recently published her first children’s book: Les Galettes de grand-maman. I wrote about it on Mitsou Magazine and called it The Kid’s Book Making the Adults Cry. I, like many adults, got very emotional reading the book. It’s a diamond. It’s about a wolf cub who immigrates to Canada and faces discrimination. Ultimately, it’s a book about empathy. I wanted to talk to Liz and Emilie about their childhood, how they made each other who they are, and how they inspired each other to become authors.
