In this week’s episode, hosts Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring you a little something different: an extended discussion on the pros and cons of authoring a book. Our hosts discuss how challenging the writing process really is with FANTI veteran and author of When Crack Was King, Donovan X. Ramsey. The writers get into the nitty gritty of writing a book, covering everything from the brainstorming stage, finding motivation to write consistently, and fighting tooth and nail over book cover art. 

Then later, Emmy winning director, Nneka Onuorah’s latest documentary, Truth Be Told, and more highlights in our DisHonorable Mentions.
