About this listen

 Hey well-read baddies! This week, we’re back with another #Black365 minisode and are joined by Tembe Denton Hurst (@tembae)—writer, author, and biscuit connoisseur. She’s the brilliant mind behind Homebodies, a novel that perfectly captures the burnout, disillusionment, and existential mess that comes with being a young Black woman just trying to make it. We dive into the realities of losing yourself in your career, what happens when the “work twice as hard” rulebook stops working, and why home isn’t just a place—it’s context. Plus, we get the inside scoop on her next book, which she describes as Love Jones meets Sex and the City. Say less. 02:15 Introduction and Shout Out Corner 12:32 Coffee Break 44:13 Get into the Guest Connect with Tembe- https://tembedentonhurst.com/ News Resources- https://www.thenewsworthy.com/; https://substack.com/@lisaremillard; https://substack.com/@meidastouch; IG Handles @bhamprogressive @kimberlynicolefoster @morningbrew @thereclaimed; https://www.vox.com/pages/logoff-newsletter-trump-administration-updates Books mentioned and recs- https://bookshop.org/shop/shewellread We can’t wait to hear from you! :) Please send any questions or comments about this episode to shewellread@gmail.com or use the form at the bottom of the SWR Podcast page: https://www.shewellread.com/contact OR leave us a Voice Note at https://www.speakpipe.com/shewellread‬ Follow SHE WELL READ!
