Show notes

Spring forward with Dr. Yndia in this episode with her guest, Pulitzer Prize winning author Mitchell Jackson. Delving into the topic of re-visioning Black life through stories, Mitchell shares his journey as a writer whose real life may mirror story lines typically found in a Walter Dean Myers or Kwame Alexander book and how he uses storytelling to inspire and transform the lives of others. Listen in as they discuss the various representations of Black masculinity and womanhood as explored in Mitchell’s memoir, Survivor Math, and in the context of sports, civil rights, and fashion with his latest book, Fly: The Big Book of Basketball Fashion.
