Join Niccara as she welcomes Natalie Baszile, author of Queen Sugar and We Are Each Other's Harvest, to the pod! We talk about her new novel Friends and Family, the 2016 phone call on a plane that planted the seed for the story, and the invisible suitcase each of us carries into our friendships. We also get into the difference between "a white girl" and "a girl who happens to be white," what it means to be perceived versus truly seen, and what we pass down to our children through our nervous systems. All spoiler-free, of course.
Perfect for readers who appreciate stories about interracial friendship, motherhood and adoption, the limits of allyship, race and class in America, and the hard work of showing up for the people we love.
Make sure you pick up Friends and Family from where you get your books!
