The Obama Portraits

The first time I met Amy Sherald, our connection was instant. From the way she carried herself to the art she created, I knew she was the artist to paint my portrait. Tonight, we're chatting with Thelma Golden about the #ObamaPortraitsTour at @artinstitutechi. Join us at 6pm ET!

Girl Talk: Knowledge Is Our Superpower

Well-Read Black Girl Book Club

In each of us, there's a story to be shared—a story that’s sacred and can bring us together. I had such a good time talking with the @WellReadBlkGirl Book Club about A Promised Land because just as they learned about my story, I had a chance to learn from theirs. pic.twitter.com/u6vAXUSK5s

Between Cultures

I felt inspired and hopeful after speaking with students in @TheTellingRoom’s Young Writers & Leaders program. I wrote #APromisedLand in part because I hoped to reach young people like those in this group—the unique voices of a new generation, energized and unafraid to dream big. https://t.co/LP1Ri8Epva
