Here at The Root we’ve always loved, praised, and centered Black literature in the broader conversation. Each week host Maiysha Kai sits down with an author we love to talk about their work, what inspires them, and what they hope to contribute to the culture at large. Guests so far include Nikole Hannah Jones, Brittney Cooper, Stacey Abrams, Ibram X. Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, Morgan Jerkins, and Claudia Rankine.
This week we're joined by author Morgan Jerkins—Senior Editor at ZORA, and author of the New York Times bestseller This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist in (White) America. Listen to hear Morgan talk with Danielle and Maiysha about her latest book, Wandering in Strange Lands, which chronicles her journey to uncover her roots by following the footsteps of The Great Migration. It's an eye-opening journey through a history that remains largely untold.
