7 Interviews with Black Authors to Listen to Right Now


 

“Especially with racial pain in America, people ask you for your story so they can tell you they don’t believe it.” – Mira Jacob, episode 34

 

Feminist Book Club is committed to amplifying the voices of feminist authors, and debut authors of color more specifically. In lieu of a new interview this week, we’ve collected some of our favorite interviews with Black authors, showcasing a wide variety of stories, genres, and writing styles. Listen from this page or go back to the episode in your favorite podcast app!

This post should serve as a reminder that, while it’s wonderful to be reading explicitly anti-racists books like Me and White Supremacy or How to Be An Anti-Racist, we need to be reading diversely as possible in all our favorite genres.

Renee Powers founded Feminist Book Club in 2018 to provide a space for intersectional feminists to learn, grow, and connect. When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch. Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
