"The reason why they don't include you in their stories is because they don't think about you... Start supporting people who think about you." A word, and Noble is very good at public speaking.
Agreed to all of this. She was amazing to have on. I love speaking with authors who live in their truth and aren't shy about speaking about it, because it needs to be heard. Because yeah, we gotta support the people who are building safe spaces and writing stories for us. Not just focus on the people who aren't.
Loved everything about the conversation - I always read one-star reviews over the 5 star ones to pick my next read 😂😂- just got my copy of Supersized Bubble Gum and cant wait to get to chapter 3
1. I love these interviews and honestly seeing another Black Autistic Author obly motives me more to Finish My Book. 2. My Birthday was last week on the fifth (yes election day unfortunately) but on the upside I bought both of your books we are the origin and we are dying gods and I am really looking Forward to reading both of them.
Thank you so much! For watching the interviews and purchasing my books! I hope you enjoy them! And I'm glad this interview was able to motivate you. That's what they're for! So, good luck with finishing your book! And, happy belated birthday 🎂
I absolutely adore what was said about NK Jemisin. I've even seen booktubers on this platform give Sanderson five stars and rave about his prose and then say Jemisin's Broken Earth is a one star because of prose. Make it TF make sense y'all! 😂 Not to be a hater but I suffered through Mistborn and it's absolutely mechanical prose.
This 💯 it's the same with Malazan by Steven Erikson - they can read that ridiculously difficult (IMO) book, and love the prose but can't get through The Broken Earth - WHAT??
It's fine to be hater over here lol 🤣 because you're absolutely right - people pick and choose which books are masterpieces that require you to pay attention vs books that are unreadable, when the prose is similar in both but the author is Black in one. The dogpiling and diminishing ability to think critically and outside of oneself in the book community should really be studied.
Really great interview, thanks for putting When Blood Meets Earth on my radar

I appreciate the folklore collections on Noble's shelves

What about a story about a Black Female Slave Owner. Could be set in an alternative universe. Could be interesting and historically accurate....
