![]() So me and a lot of my friends didn’t really take to reading. ![]() It’s just something that you can’t really connect with. It might be street power, but it’s still power. But when you get to middle school and they’re talking about Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer and the only black person in the book is a slave that’s following around these kids, it’s almost disrespectful-especially when you’re coming from a place where you’re seeing all types of black people in power. When we’re little kids, everybody love Curious George and the Cat in the Hat. Mainly because the books I was given as a child didn’t really pique my interest or speak of my experience. What got you interested in writing? Were you a writer growing up? ![]()
