In his debut memoir ‘When They Tell You To Be Good’, Prince Shakur (UTV 2021, Writing of Witness with Elizabeth Rosner) mines his radicalization and self-realization through examination of place, childhood, queer identity, and a history of uprisings. Shakur is a queer Jamaican-American journalist and cultural essayist whose words have been featured in Teen Vogue, Catapult, Level, Electric Lit, and more.
In a recent interview with LitHub in the spirit of NaMoWriMo, Shakur takes us on a journey of how and why reflection matters, and offers examples and tips, too. Listen now.
