In the stunning follow-up to The Talk: Conversations About Race, Love & Truth, award-winning Black authors and artists come together to create a moving anthology collection celebrating Black love, Black creativity, Black resistance, and Black life.
As the nation continues to grapple with strides toward antiracism, Wade Hudson and Cheryl Willis Hudson call upon some of the most prominent Black creators working today to lend their voices, their insghts, and their talents to an inspiring anthology collection that celebrates Black culture and Black life. Industry giants such as Sharon Draper (Out of My Mind), Kelly Starling Lyons (The Sowing Circle), Nic Stone (Dear Martin), and Lamar Giles (The Last Last-Day-of-Summer) along with the youngest author, high school senior Adedayo Perkovich, contribute essays, poems, short stories, and letters while lauded artists such as Pat Cummings (Trace), Floyd Cooper (Sprouting Wings), Ekua Holmes (Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer), Keith Knight (Hulu series Woke) and more create spellbinding art for an eight-page full-color insert. Captured in these pages is the pride, prestige, and jubilation that is being Black in America today, tomorrow, and into the future.
