Welcome to the Reading While Black Podcast. Where we discuss all the books you can imagine written by black authors as well can pop culture among other things. Today we have special guest, RWB member, cohost of the real drunk show, Kia Speaks. We’ll be discussing The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas and the controversy surround a South Carolina high school, a reading list and a police union that was this novel and any other book daring to critique police violence removed. We also discuss the upcoming film adaptation of T.H.U.G., the questionable selection of Amandla Stenberg to play the protagonist Starr and the push back from the black community who feel she is not the correct choice to play this character based on the book description and cover art. We’ll also touch on female hip hop and our favorite, STAN CULTURE. Enjoy --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/readingwhileblk/message
