Interviews and discussion with new insights

Revisado: 02-02-25

The choices of topics and interviews and the blend of Kenya Barris and Malcolm Gladwell all together brought new stories and insights. The only challenge was that the audio was surprisingly uneven which was at times frustrating when I had to keep adjusting volume.

A great read and once again a beautiful listen

Revisado: 01-11-25

I read this in book form when it was first released and wanted to do a re read by listening now in 2025 when these words take on new resonance amidst a resurgence of hated couched in faith groups. While realities are hard to fathom, her words and voice soothed my soul when I most needed it

Extraordinary

Revisado: 01-10-25

I was familiar with most of the art he discussed and spaces he visited but I was able to see them with new eyes and discover new layers through his descriptions and discussions. This book is also a beautiful reminder of the power of art, in all of its forms, to remind us, to move us and in these times to keep the memory and true history alive despite any revisionism that might try to diminish it. Thank you for this excellent reminder - I look forward to sharing it with friends and students.

Incredible at each read

Revisado: 12-31-24

When I read this after it initially came out I was blown away by its word and spirit. Now getting the chance to listen to it, in his voice, with his occasional verbal updates as well as just the distance of time is a gift of depth and meaning.

Thank you!

I clipped so many portions of this to share with others. The approach style and most of all content and meaning behind these words means so much to me and I’d imagine so many others. And ending on the note about children was so spot on. I work with children and am so grateful for the way they approach me and my devices, the smart questions they ask and the way they see me. L beyond my crutches. This carries me through and helps counter every awkward interaction I have with adults. Thank you for this book and for sharing these ideas with all of us!

Absolutely brilliant!

It was an honor to read and get insight into her brilliant mind and open heart. And to hear it in her voice - recognizing the many hours of time and care her choice of doing the marathon herself must have taken meant all the more. Thanks for sharing your inspirational life with us all.

My favorite collection of all time

Revisado: 12-02-23

I return to this book at least once a year, as a warm homecoming to the streets my childhood and the truest representation of DC

Reader wasn't loud enough

Revisado: 05-13-17

The story is exceptional but ruined by the reader whose whispered tone and selected overdramatizations were distracting and hard to follloe
