Being You With Shea Serrano
Fri Jan 09 2026
What makes communication land—on the page, on screen, or in conversation? And why do some voices cut through the noise while others get ignored?
In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with writer, storyteller, and cultural commentator Shea Serrano for a candid conversation about voice, clarity, and connecting with an audience. Shea reflects on how he developed his unmistakable style, why honesty matters more than polish, and how trusting your instincts can shape both creative work and career decisions.
Together, they talk about writing for real people, breaking complex ideas into something accessible, and the importance of staying grounded—even as success grows. Shea shares insights on confidence, self-doubt, and learning when to speak up, when to listen, and when to trust that your voice already belongs in the room.
From creative discipline to cultural storytelling, this conversation is a reminder that strong communication isn’t about being loud—it’s about being clear, human, and intentional.
