  • Summary

  • Ashley Ford sits down with author Tayari Jones, who is in the midst of finishing up her novel about a Black man who's been wrongfully convicted of a crime. Ashley and Tayari discuss the pressure Black writers experience to write about tough subjects such as racism, mass incarceration and hardship. Tayari Jones brings with her the first story she ever wrote, at the tender age of 15.
