Ep. 146 Integrity in Collaboration with Kimberly Drew & Jenna Wortham
Today we welcome Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham to The Stacks. They are the editors of Black Futures, a collection of art, essays, memes, recipes and more that document Blackness. In addition to working on this book together, Kimberly is also the author of This is What I Know About Art, an activist, and curator. Jenna is a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine and the co-host of the Still Processing podcast. Today we talk about collaboration in the creative process, how they built this book, and what trust and integrity can look like in professional relationships.
The Stacks Book Club selection for January is The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans. We will discuss the book with Deesha Philyaw on January 27th.
