Tell The Damn Story 186: What's A Young Writers' Road To Pop Culture, Race, and Identity
Manage episode 289755479 series 2132714
While participating in a creative arts program to support and inspire young men of color, Chris and Alex talk with two pros they've interviewed before. Once again TTDS welcomes authors, Caseen Gaines and Omar Holman to the show.
Both were Chris' students in high school. Now they have books coming out that, as Chris put it, "... are significant enough to become required reading..." In very different ways Caseen's "FOOTNOTES," and Omar's "BLACK NERD PROBLEMS," explore and comment on media, pop culture, race in America, and defining identity. Whether it be a culture's, a community's, -- or one's own.
*This interview is excerpt from a project done in cooperation with Young Men's Initiative, City of New York.
