This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Amena Brown, author of the essay collection, Never Tell a Black Girl How to Black Girl.

It’s not Amena’s first book, but it's the first where she felt like she could say what she wanted, how she wanted, and to whom she wanted after years of holding her tongue in public and on the page.

In our conversation, Amena explains why she will always refer to herself as an independent performing artist. Plus, how long it took for her to deconstruct and unlearn the harmful conservative Christian theology that had to be included in her first two books before she found her authentic voice.
