Author Jason Reynolds joins Nina Westbrook on the Do Tell Relationship Podcast for a powerful conversation about storytelling, Black boyhood, masculinity, literacy, AI, creativity, emotional expression, and the human experience behind great art.
Jason shares why young people do not hate books, they hate boredom, and how representation in literature can shape identity, imagination, emotional vocabulary, and freedom. Nina and Jason also explore what happens when children do not see themselves reflected in the stories they are given, how masculinity can limit emotional expression, and why the process of becoming matters just as much as the outcome.
This episode is for parents, educators, creatives, readers, athletes, and anyone thinking deeply about how we raise emotionally intelligent, imaginative, resilient young people.
