Ep. 124 Finding Your Future Self with Liara Tamani
Young Adult author Liara Tamani is our guest today, and we discuss her newest book All the Things We Never Knew. Liara shares how she came to write for young people, the ways she finds authenticity in her characters, why social media isn’t for her, and the ways school curriculum doesn’t always serve students.
The Stacks Book Club selection for August is Sula by Toni Morrison. We will discuss the book with Brit Bennett on August 26th.
