"To become a participant in a democracy, to become a participant in a country so that your citizenship is guaranteed, it's so absolutely, positively critical. Otherwise, you always see yourself as an outsider." Professor Dr. Daniel Black joins Zibby to talk about his latest novel, Don't Cry For Me, which he finished the very same day his father died. Daniel and Zibby discuss why Daniel wanted this novel to feature some under-discussed and challenging conversations about parenthood, and particularly how it pertains to Black men. Daniel also shares how his family's story inspired him to pursue his PhD, why it's important to let children grow up to be who they are, and what the sequel to this novel will look like.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/39ppDYJBookshop: https://bit.ly/39a8ORuSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
