Writing While Black.

Another article that I missed when it first came out, but is definitely worth the read: Literary Hub’s Morgan Jerkins discusses writing while black.

Great insight on the struggle to describe blackness without succumbing to the traps of clichés or typecasts. I think most writers of color can relate to this piece.
