Before the Author Speaks, the Book Must Breathe, right?
Episode # 1- Title & Contents
This isn’t the interview—not yet.
This is the prequel, the slow burn before the conversation. For the first time, I’m letting you see how the sausage is made—how I read, reflect, wrestle. How I trace the arc of a book long before the mic is hot.
I’m currently tackling “Liberty, Fraternity, Exile: Haiti and Jamaica after Emancipation” by Matthew J. Smith. The title alone is a map of our past—liberty hard-earned, fraternity across waters, exile always near.
What you’re watching is more than a review. It’s the interior work—where questions are born, where history lives, where I meet the text before I meet the person who wrote it.
Walk with me through the forest before we speak of its trees.
