In this sharp, funny, and deeply honest conversation, New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone breaks down the real politics of publishing, representation, and why Black stories still face resistance in classrooms and bookstores across America.

Drawing from her trilogy — Dear Martin, Dear Justyce, and Dear Manny — Stone talks openly about confronting racism, writing across race, and why her newest book is a deliberate social experiment designed to expose how readers respond when the hero is a white boy instead of a Black one. She and host Jamal Emile dig into everything from book bans and privilege to how young readers actually engage with tough topics, the emotional impact of meeting kids who see themselves in her characters, and the hidden biases that shape which stories get published, taught, or dismissed.
Filled with humor, vulnerability, and striking clarity, this conversation is a reminder that books don’t just tell stories — they shift culture. And Nic Stone is determined to keep pushing the boundaries of who gets to be seen, heard, and believed.

🎥 Filmed live at Baldwin & Co., where literature becomes movement.
