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.
We're speaking with the brilliant and astute Ijeoma Oluo this week, author of the bestselling So You Want to Talk About Race. Listen to hear Ijeoma talk about the importance of taking care of yourself as a Black woman, what the left continues to get wrong in the Black Lives Matter movement, and the backstory of her forthcoming book, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America.
