Black Authors Network Talk Show

LoLo Smith is a children’s book author on a mission to positively reshape the way children of color see themselves. As an elementary school teacher, she was dismayed with the lack of children’s books with characters of color on the market. So she established Do The Write Thing of DC (DTWT), with two other like-minded individuals. This 501(c)(3) tax exempt not-for-profit publishes books by, about and for African Americans to address the lack of diversity in books.  “I’m filling diversity gaps in children’s literature and doing my part to normalize the appearance of African American and Hispanic girls and boys in books,” she says.  

 

LoLo has written 10 books for children. Her books feature anime characters, American Girl dolls, superheroes and even dogs!  She writes on topics such as kindness, bullying, community workers, and the COIVD-19 pandemic. 

 

She has taken her commitment a step further by developing a literacy program, Living Storybook, through which she re-issues her original books with photos of African American and Hispanic children that participate in DTWT’s after-school and summer programs. “When children see photos of themselves in a book, it becomes a powerful incentive for them to read,” she says.

 

LoLo Smith is pleased to announce the release of three new children's books which are available for purchase at  https://www.amazon.com/LoLo-Smith/e/B01LDWYAEK

The Way Eye See It by Antoinette R. Davis 

Located in the deep South of  Jackson Mississippi there’s a brown skin girl full of bitter and hatred determined to make a difference in a Jim Crow State.

Brandi has just been promoted to co-anchor for WBLT; she’s the first African American anchor for the station however she is meeting opposition when she wants to be radical instead of practical.  

Everything Brandi touches seems to go bad including the love of her life Chase Ware because of her prejudices.  Brandi is not trying to play by anybody's rules but her own and if that means she has to sacrifice love, friends, and family she is willing to do that.

Brandi’s father was killed by a white man in the streets of Jackson, Mississippi when she was just five years old; that sparked a fire in her that she can’t let go of.  Everywhere she goes trouble seems to follow her because she only sees black or white.

There’s change in her heart when an unexpected hero saves the day and touches her right in the center of her hatred, LOVE ALWAYS WINS.

Join Ella as she meets one today's hottest authors. Attica Locke discusses Black Water Rising with the Go on Girl President.Attica Locke is a novelist and a screenwriter who has written scripts for Paramount, Warner Bros, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, HBO Films and more. A graduate of Northwestern University, she was a fellow at the Sundance Institute’s Feature Filmmaker’s Lab. Black Water Rising, her first novel, was nominated for a 2010 Edgar Award and a 2010 NAACP Image Award. She is currently at work on her second book.

Black Water Rising is a murder mystery that takes place in Houston, Texas, in 1981. It follows the character, Jay Porter, a low rent criminal defense attorney who was heavily involved in the civil rights movement in the late '60s and early '70s and now finds himself trying to transition from the political activism of his youth into the Reagan '80s - a time when the whole country and black people in particular had shifted our focus from political progress to economic progress. At the beginning of the book, Jay saves a woman from drowning and soon gets caught up in a mystery involving this woman and some of the biggest power brokers in the city. And along the way he has to come to terms with the demons of his past: the guns, his FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.
