Carlos Anthony, an award-winning author, joins us for a powerful conversation that unearths the emotional and complex layers of his novel, "Shades of Black." Together, we navigate the tumultuous journey of Romero, a young Black teen grappling with racial profiling in a school environment. The narrative strikes at the heart of fear and vulnerability, bringing Carlos's literary themes of identity and the Black male experience into sharp focus. As we delve into his artistic process, including the inspiration behind his upcoming stage play "The Price of Freedom," Carlos unveils the profound power of storytelling in confronting both personal and historical injustices.
