The Book of Juju, Pt. 1
Happy Juneteenth!! HAVE YOU BOUGHT MY BOOK YET?
In this episode, I get vulnerable about how truly difficult it was for me to write my very first book, The Book of Juju, while grieving my the loss of my best friend, my grandmother. It was complicated writing about ancestors as she became one. Also, the book industry is racist!! Can yall believe I had to audition to read my own audiobook?! Tea time!!
P.S. Thank you, Arthur Flowers.
