We talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rochelle Riley about her creative process, the themes that shape her work, and how she tackles difficult yet necessary topics in her writing.

Presented by the Akron Black Artist Guild, The Black Pen podcast showcases powerful conversations with Black writers at every stage of their journey—from seasoned authors to rising voices. This platform celebrates the power of storytelling and the richness of our narratives.
