In this episode of our podcast, we sit down with Peppur Chambers, a writer, producer, and educator who has written two critically acclaimed novels set in 1940s Harlem, "Harlem's Awakening" and "Harlem's Last Dance." Peppur shares her journey as a writer, and how she found inspiration to write stories that feature strong female lead characters who are Black or women of color. We delve into the creative process behind her books and how they challenge common stereotypes in the media.
 
Peppur also discusses the important themes of her latest book, "Harlem's Last Dance," which deals with passing, sex work, and human trafficking and how they intersect with the experiences of Black women both historically and in contemporary times. We explore the message she hopes readers will take away from her book and how it emphasizes the importance of Black women empowerment and sisterhood.
 
As a lover of vintage glamour and jazz, Peppur takes us through her research process for her books and what drew her to the particular time and place of 1940s Harlem. She also shares her experience with finding the confidence to write and the process of publishing and getting an agent, offering advice for aspiring writers who want to start but don't know where to begin.
 
Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about the power of literature to empower and elevate the stories of Black women.
