Conversation with Briana Thomas and Laini Mataka, oral narratives captured by Bria Pruden

Writers Briana Thomas and Laini Mataka share their experiences living in Washington DC and being a Black writer. These oral narratives were captured by high school student Bria Pruden, a youth participant in the Hurston/Wright Foundation's DC Youth Writers Oral History Project. Bria produced this multi-media project during her 2023 summer residency in the Hurston/Wright Foundation's DC Youth Writers Oral History Project on the campus of Howard University.
