In this episode, Emmy B talks with Christina Hammonds Reed about her recently released debut novel, "The Black Kids." Discussing specifically the topic of Own Voices, Emmy asks Christina what it means to her to create a space for readers like her- as well as what the intended insights are for readers like me. This is a discussion on race, economic status, perception and willingness to create empathy for an experience that is not your own. It's the perfect conversation to prove; that we can talk about difficult things, in a lovely way, through the books that we read!
