How can you ban The Bluest Eye? My next book is a queer-centric ghost story. Should I just publish it under banned books? #booktalk.
“While my book has been removed from three high school libraries while under review, the ban has raised curiosity among readers about the kind of institutional oppression and racism described in its pages.” (via @latimesopinion)

Am I the last letter writer?.
A friend just told me that his intern had to ask him how to address an envelope — he literally had no idea where to put the recipient’s address because he doesn’t use anything but email — so if you hear a sad whoosh, that’s my ancient, wrinkled, decrepit head caving in on itself.

Song is the ultimate tool in activism. Here's to Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.
Lady Gaga has a history of activism alongside Joe Biden and campaigned for him during the general election. Jennifer Lopez has used her voice to speak out against the coronavirus pandemic's disproportionate toll on minority communities.

Making room for a new book is something every writer has to do. I thought it would hurt more than it did to take down this Honey Girl collage, but it actually felt good. Now I’m super excited about my new novel, The Future is Tess.
