Dear Human by Femi Fragile
Letters about the parts of life people rarely say out loud.
Dear Human is an ongoing series of letters about relationships and the parts of life people rarely say out loud. Each one is written as if to a single reader. New letters go out on Substack, and Table Talk, the video companion to the series, lives on TikTok and Instagram.

Dear Human Letters
The words that go with the gift.
People write to us when they know exactly what they feel and cannot find the words for it. A letter is written for one particular person, from what the sender tells us about them.
The Dear Human series has been a worthy companion. Your words liberate the thoughts that hold us back. Thank you for always writing to us.
Have something you’re trying to say? Let’s work on it.
Bring me the voice note, the rough draft, the scattered thoughts or the idea you haven’t quite found the words for yet.
