IN CONVERSATION: Cole Brown Shameless
-
- Society & Culture
Why hello there, listener friends!
Today, we bring you the very clever Cole Brown. Cole is a twenty-five-year-old author and writer who has just published his first critically acclaimed book, Greyboy. It’s a series of essays written about life at the intersection of class and race, where in it, Cole shares so many valuable personal insights on white privilege, racism, and black identity.
In this chat, Cole talks about what it’s like growing up black in America when you don’t quite fit the stereotype of what the world tells you being black looks like. And then, how Cole feels sharing his most personal trauma with the masses, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming U.S. election.
If you’d like more from Cole, do yourself a favour and grab his debut book, ‘Greyboy: Finding Blackness in a White World’, here. Enjoyed this chat with Cole? Well, we think you’ll also love our interviews with Jennifer Atilemile and Georgie Dent.
