Another beautiful conversation for @npratc - this one felt more like a meditation…
I spent time with @imaniperry in the studios of @wrtimusic contemplating the state of Grace, and this old American song that keeps resonating, in every age, with the promise of redemption and rebirth.
Produced so sensitively by @tomhuizenga for @nprmusic 🙏🏽

For the past 30 years I have lived with chronic disease disabilities. And I’ve committed for years to overcoming the shame that comes with living in an ableist world. To that end, here’s a selfie where you can see the wire from one of my new hearing aids. It’s great to no longer miss all the jokes and to realize my Spanish hasn’t deteriorated as much as I’d thought. Thankful for assistive technologies and in a just world they’d be available to everyone who could use them. #disabilityvisability

AUTHOR ANNOUNCEMENT! ✨Martha’s Vineyard Black Book Festival is thrilled to welcome celebrated scholar, MacArthur Fellow, and Harvard professor @imaniperry. She invites readers on a profound journey through race, culture, and emotion in her book, “Black in Blues: How A Color Tells The Story of My People.” ✨ From the indigo cloths of West Africa to the blues music that shaped American art, Perry explores how the color blue has long been intertwined with Black life, as a symbol of hope, pain, resilience, and beauty.
Through history, art, and personal reflection, “Black in Blues” is a luminous exploration of Blackness and the emotions, stories, and creativity it carries. 💙💙

Today is UK publication day for these 2 offerings. I’m so grateful for my wonderful agent @cincinn, the team at Penguin Random House UK and the prospect of new readers across the pond. The past and all of its ugliness is ever present these days. Hoping that my quilted homages to the imaginations, hearts, and souls of the ones who came before give us something to work with. To paraphrase/quote, Ida B. Wells, Faulkner and Baldwin: the people must know before they can act, the past isn’t really past, and we better figure out what to do with all of our beauty. (If anyone out there happens to see one in a UK bookstore, please share a snap 💕)
