A fun yet insightful conversation with author and self-help advocate, Marian L. Thomas. We go on a ride as we cover a bunch of topics including racism, self-help for women, corporate initiatives around inclusion and diversity, and black hair.
Born in Illinois, Marian wouldn't say that her first career choice was writing novels. She saw herself working as a journalist for a local newspaper. In college, she served as a sports editor for the student paper, and later as the news editor. But Marian's writing path took a detour when she drafted her first completed manuscript. Now, she can't imagine not crafting stories for women that bring characters to life - characters who face real obstacles, cross difficult barriers to find love, and discover all the wonderful possibilities that life can offer. Marian has been featured on television stations such as Fox, NBC and CBS, and in many print and online publications including USA Today.
In her new novel, “Someone Like Me,” Marian examines race relations through the relationship of young people in love, but separated by the color of their skin.
