About a decade or so ago, S. Renee Mitchell put the bug in my ear to record my content. She was working with students at Humboldt School, where my mom was principal at the time and offered me some free advice as an up and coming writer. Fast forward to 2021 and I can’t help but kick myself for not listening to her sooner.
More importantly, I had the pleasure of interviewing Renee for the latest episode of the Blacktastic Adventure. An author, activist and educator who has used her background in journalism to develop numerous projects and programs that particularly empower youth, Renee inspires people like me who want to use writing to change the constructs around us.
