    Nalo Hopkinson - Brown Girl Did Her Thing!

    In this episode, recorded last year (a few months into the pandemic), I talk with the wonderful Nalo Hopkinson!  Nalo was one of the few authors who was hand-picked by Neil Gaiman to write new comic books in the world of Sandman, she's a professor at UCR, and she's written a gang of her own brilliant sci-fi novels, like Skin Folk, Midnight Robber, and Brown Girl In The Ring, which inspired a film! (https://www.nalohopkinson.com) Because of my own pandemic struggles, it's taken me a few months to upload this interview, but Nalo is charming, funny, and beautifully sincere. You're gonna enjoy this one! Oh, and I mentioned this last episode, but I gave a TEDTalk, called, "When the World Is Burning, Is Art A Waste of Time?", which is over 700,000 views currently! Check this interview out!
