Author Spotlight: Tananarive Due
After the Forgotten Children of Youth Justice’s Past panel, we’ll be joined remotely by Tananarive Due, winner of an American Book Award and an NAACP Image Award, for an author interview! We will discuss her work, her process, and the central theme of the Forum: how we can use storytelling and creative expression to tell the truth about the past and the present, and in so doing catalyze change to write a new future.
