I just upload a video interview with Farai Chideya http://aalbc.com/authors/faraichideya.htm It was shot at the AALBC.com Gallery in Harlem. Ron Kavanaugh of MosaicBooks.com did the interview.  Farai Chideya is a multi-media journalist who has worked in print, television, and online. Five years ago she founded PopandPolitics.com, an online journal of news and opinion for a diverse national and international audience. She is currently a Knight Fellow at Stanford University. | ||

Chris, if you can concentrate long enough to watch the 24 minute conversation let me know what you think. | ||

I'm listening to the interview now. I used to listen to News and Notes on NPR. I think she is a powerful, insightful sister, and I can't really see why anyone would say she doesn't have soul .... In any case, thanks for putting up my author page Troy. It's good to see. | ||

Her novel arrived in the mail yesterday, and I started reading it last night! Anybody else reading it now? | ||

OK Chris, I'll play straight man... What is it about Farai that lacks "Soul" could it be that her mother is from Baltimore and her father is from Zimbabwe? Could it be her natural hairstyle? Maybe it is her deep seated will to related the stories of our community. No, I know, it is her sharp intellect and down to earth nature you take issue with... Am I getting close? |
