Discover Kerika Fields' Powerful New Novella, With Your Bad Self

This week on DREAMLEAPERS® with Harriette Cole, we’re thrilled to feature the brilliant Kerika Fields, an acclaimed writer and photographer, as she dives into the world of her new novella, With Your Bad Self.

Set against the backdrop of an economically challenged Brooklyn on the verge of World War II, With Your Bad Self is a coming-of-age love story that dares to question the timeless adage: "Love conquers all." In this richly evocative tale, Kerika masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and survival during one of the most pivotal moments in history.

With Your Bad Self offers readers a deeply personal and culturally poignant look into the struggles and triumphs of its characters, as they navigate a world defined by societal pressures and limited opportunities. Kerika’s gift for storytelling brings 1940s Brooklyn to life, capturing the resilience and beauty of a community facing immense challenges.

Known for her ability to tell stories that resonate deeply, Kerika draws on her experience as both a writer and a photographer to paint vivid imagery that lingers long after the final page. With this novella, she continues her legacy of highlighting the strength of the human spirit, the importance of community, and the power of love—even when love alone may not be enough.

Join us as we explore the creative process behind With Your Bad Self, the historical inspirations for the story, and Kerika’s reflections on how her work connects to modern audiences.
