On January 30, 2024 Ijeoma Oluo launches her third book BE A REVOLUTION: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World - And How You Can, Too.

I’ve had a front row seat these last few years in seeing Ijeoma research, conduct interviews, and write this vitally important text, and I’m so excited the rest of the world now gets to read it too! I really feel like she penned a classic for our generation with this one. In our conversation for the podcast today we talk about the process behind the book, the life of a writer, the music Ijeoma listens to in her office, and so much more.

We also talk about the importance of first week book sales! And Ijeoma has a series of events coming up in support of that first week starting in Brooklyn, NY on January 30th, followed by events in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Toronto and two events in Seattle, WA on February 8th and 9th. You can order the book now and get tickets for any of the events at this link: harpercollins.com/pages/revolution

Enjoy this episode, and hope to see y’all at the events next week!
