When Angie Thomas set out on the book tour for her 2017 debut novel The Hate U Give, she received a surprising bit of reader feedback. It wasn't Starr Carter, the novel’s 16-year-old protagonist, that fans were the most eager to talk about. Instead, it was Starr’s father Maverick, a former gang member-turned grocery store owner who nurtures his daughter’s abilities and believes in her strength. “I had kids coming up to me in line saying that Maverick reminds them of their dad," Thomas tells Bustle. "I also had their moms coming up behind them in line saying, ‘Oh my god, I love me some Maverick, I wanna marry me a Maverick!’” It never crossed Thomas’ mind to return to the Carters for a future project, let alone to center a novel on the family's patriarch. But the love from readers, combined with Russell Hornsby’s stunning portrayal of the character in the 2018 film adaptation, was all the motivation she needed to revisit the Carter family. (Not to mention that Maverick just so happens to be Thomas' favorite character she's ever written, too.) The result is Concrete Rose, a prequel to The Hate U Give that takes place several decades before the events of her debut and focuses on a 17-year-old Maverick. In it, Maverick juggles dealing drugs for a local gang and becoming a first-time father with trying to help his overworked mother while his father is incarcerated. Much like Thomas’ previous writing, Concrete Rose is a nuanced portrayal of Black life, this time focusing on the difficult contradictions of Black boyhood. “When you’re writing an identity outside of your own, the least you could do is respect that identity enough to get it right,” Thomas says of the research she did to write from a Black teenage boy's perspective. “I recognize that that comes with the territory. If you’re going to do this, be prepared for the criticism.” Concrete Rose marks Thomas' third young adult novel, a genre that she has no intention of writing outside of anytime soon. While some authors may aspire to try their hand at adult fiction, Thomas maintains that YA books — and by extension, middle grade books, which she's exploring for her next project — are the most important genre on the market. “Young people who read my books today are the leaders of tomorrow,” she says. “They’re going to be in these positions that determine if systemic racism continues or not, and I take what I do seriously in that regard. I’ve given up on adults!” Below, Thomas talks about the superiority of golden kiwis, immortal Apple batteries, and building basement bowling alleys for her Sims. I unplug my laptop once it’s fully charged and write until the battery is almost dead. Then I take a break while it charges. I learned that tip from [writer] Adam Silvera. It has worked out for me, although Apple keeps making these batteries that don’t want to die. But lately routines are out of the window with quarantine. You’d think, “Oh, because you’re home, you have all the time in the world!” Yeah, but my brain does not have all the space. My music [taste] definitely depends on the book. For Concrete Rose, that was a '90s hip-hop playlist all the way through, [because] I had an excuse to listen to that stuff. Now I’m doing a middle grade [book] and I’m not listening to the same kind of stuff. Each book looks a bit different. Concrete Rose was a lot of Tupac and Southern hip-hop like Outkast and Goodie Mob. But I can’t listen to twerk music with this [new] book! I mean I could, but we wouldn’t know what would happen on the page. Let’s not do that. I paused playing The Sims to do this interview! I just created a dream house with a bowling alley and movie theater in the basement. I’m so excited about it. I give my Sims all the money. I tried to play this Sim the normal way, like [earning] your way through life, then after a while it’s like, “No, you just got out of college. You need a bowling alley in your house.” I love to snack on fruit while I’m working. Fruit and baked Cheetos. I love persimmons and I love golden kiwis. Golden kiwis are so much better than the green ones. I also have a bad habit of ordering delivery even though I have food. I get so caught up in writing that I’m like, “Oh, I forgot to cook. Let me order something…” Right now I’m into tacos. There’s a place here [in Jackson, Miss.,] called Green Ghost Tacos, and I think I could order from them every single day. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

On episode 74, we welcome hip-hop journalist Andrew Moffatt (Andy O4L) to discuss the Heart of an Outlaw Show; his experiences with interviewing some of his musical idols like Mutah “Napoleon” Beale, and other guests like Angie Thomas and Ajani Carr; the dark side of fame; the idealization of the illusory lives of celebrities on instagram; how Tupac’s music influenced Andy’s perspective; his life as a bodybuilder and why he gave it up; why obsessive pursuits often end in tragedy rather than triumph; overcoming severe depression and its sources; and how having a family and working with the Outlawz filled his life with meaning. Andy is the host of the Heart of an Outlaw show where he interviews entertainers in the hip-hop music industry.

Voor deze aflevering is geen gastin uitgenodigd, maar Susannah geeft haar tips voor boek, beeld, geluid en algeheel inspirerende vrouwen, met aan het eind nog een paar shoot-outs naar gave wijven die haar leven onlangs nog een beetje beter hebben gemaakt. Het boek 'Girl, Woman, Other' van Bernadine Evaristo is eerder al genoemd. Verder noem ik 'The Hate U Give' en 'On The Come Up' van Angie Thomas en 'Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race' van Reni Eddo Lodge. Ik bespreek uitgebreid mijn liefde voor 'Bijna Echt' van Lisa van Campenhout en dat boek is, net als de andere titels die ik noem, te koop bij de grote online boekhandels en de kleine boekhandel bij jou om de hoek die zijn stinkende best doet om te overleven. De serie 'Crashing' kun je op Netflix kijken, 'Killing Eve' seizoen 1 en 2 staan op Videoland en seizoen 3 is gewoon op televisie, of je moet op NPO Plus kijken. Voor 'Fleabag' heb je Amazon Prime nodig. De release van de nieuwe Bond-film is uitgesteld, omdat 'No Time To Die' geen lekkere corona-gedachte was, en 'Run' kan ik nergens vinden, dus als jij hem ergens vindt, hou ik me aanbevolen. De eenmalige Els Borst Netwerk podcast is te vinden op alle podcastplatforms. Je hebt deze podcast gevonden, dus die andere vinden lukt ook wel. Kajsa Ollongren en Kaouthar Darmoni zijn allebei op Instagram te vinden. Lodie is op Instagram te vinden als @JOYbyLodie - check die dansjes. En de shout-out deze keer is naar alle dames die in deze podcast hebben opgetreden. De foto bij deze aflevering is gemaakt door Elise van Zeeland, tijdens mijn interview met Kajsa Ollongren. Op de achtergrond zie je dus de werkkamer van de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken. Ik vind dat gaaf.

In deze aflevering van de Gave Wijven Podcast vertelt Baasnne Saeed, verse ex-scholier, toekomstig student geneeskunde en aspirant kinderpsychiater (maar misschien wordt het wel een heel andere specialisatie, want kiezen is moeilijk) en en schrijfster, over haar carrière, activiteiten, nevenactiviteiten, voorkeuren, adviezen en handtas. Ze vertelt over hoe het was om van een internationale school in Slemani naar een gymnasium in Voorburg te gaan, waarom ze altijd al dokter wilde worden (maar ook archeoloog, architect of designer), hoe het voelt om in corona-tijd geen eindexamen te hoeven of mogen doen en het belang van voor jezelf opkomen en blij zijn met jezelf. Als tips heeft Baasnne voor ons: 'You' op Netflix, 'Grey's Anatomy', zowel de boeken als de films 'The perks of being a wallflower', 'Little women' en 'The Hate U Give', de boeken van Harry Potter, het oeuvre van John Green, en de muziek van Harry Styles en Naz. Je kan Baasnne vinden op Instagram als @baasnne, want niemand heeft verder zo'n mooie naam.

One of the main goals we've had for The Movie Breakdown podcast has been to explore and review a diverse range of movies from all genres and from as many different perspectives and voices as possible. It felt like the right time to devote an episode to five movies that look at Black stories and are either made by black filmmakers or star black leads. A show like this needs to have Spike Lee's latest movie in the returning to Vietnam drama and thriller, Da 5 Bloods. We also have the break-out movie for director Ryan Coogler and lead Michael B Jordan in the based-on tree events drama, Fruitvale Station. Then we have a movie that still explores things like systemic racism and prejudice but also is a thriller and funny coming of age tale in Dope. It wouldn't seem proper to not have a movie with music as a central part, so there is the Terrence Howard starring drama about a pimp and drug dealer trying to launch a rap career in Hustle & Flow. We top it off with the story about a girl whose two worlds collide after her friend is shot dead by a cop in The Hate U Give. I'll be honest, all the movies are very emotional, and I was really hit by most of them, but as you'll find out after listening to the show, they are all worth tracking down.We are so thankful that you support and listening to us.

Angie Thomas discusses her acclaimed novel, The Hate U Give, and the book’s feature film adaptation directed by George Tillman Jr.

We're talking #police brutality, dueling identities, community, loyalty, and the need to not only find yourself, but find your place as well.

Cold Truth will be joining the movement, Blackout Tuesday/The Show Must Be Paused, in solidarity against hate. What happened to Mr. George Floyd was disgusting and it is sad that it takes a "snuff" type film of the senseless murder of this man to get people to wake the f up. This is not knew for the black community in America, but for the first time, most of the human race is outraged by what they saw. We have to come together or the Hate We Give Will Destroy Us All.With the full support of Amelia and Lainie from Murder At Land Between The Lakes, we will be postponing the episode scheduled for release tomorrow, until Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:00pm.

The debut novel from Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give , takes its title from an extemporaneous monologue delivered by rap icon Tupac Shakur. In it, he expands his interpretation of gangsta rap’s main trope: the criminal and revolutionary identity he calls ‘thug life’. As he sees it, thug life is a response to the inherent racism and classism of American politics and culture. The novel explores this concept over the course of the plot, which centers on a police shooting witnessed by the protagonist, a young black woman named Starr. The book most resembles the events in Ferguson, Missouri, after the killing of Michael Brown, but the book’s city, Garden Heights, is fictional-- which is to say, this resembles what happens everywhere so much so that we don’t need to imagine a specific city at all. The novel avoids becoming a polemic by situating the bulk of the conflict and driving action in Starr’s interior experience. The story is really about how this particular young woman navigates the

"The Hate U Give" is the new movie starring Amandla Stenberg that's based on the bestselling YA novel about a Ferguson-like incident where a policeman kills an unarmed young black man. The movie has been universally acclaimed, but it is not without its faults, especially with regards to how much responsibility it places on the black community for police violence. Teen, Oxford, and Millie talk about the pros and cons of the movie and wonder if it will age as badly as another once-heralded race-conscious movie like "Crash."

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Angie Thomas' new YA novel The Hate U Give. The Hate U Give follows Starr Carter, a black teen who witnesses her unarmed friend Khalil get shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. In addition to having to face the trauma of witnessing the shooting, as the sole witness to the incident, Starr finds herself at the center of the trial against the cop that shot Khalil. But after speaking to her police department about the incident, Starr quickly learns that any sense of justice following the shooting is going to be hard fought — rather than investigating the officer, the authorities conduct a character attack on Khalil, who was a drug dealer at the time of his death, with rumors circulating that he may have been in a gang. Now, mourning the loss of her friend, Starr must figure out how to find her voice and speak out, even while both cops and people in her neighborhood seek to silence her. Then, inspired by the way The Hate U Give addresses gun violence and police brutality, we discuss our favorite socially conscious literature including Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, Citizen by Claudia Rankine, White Teeth by Zadie Smith, and Shrill by Lindy West. Aliza recommends Harry Styles' solo album Harry Styles. "His stuff is so good. It's got this '70s/ '80s vibe. I was literally listening to it on loop for a good two days." Martha recommends Amandla Stenberg's cover of Mac DeMarco's song Let My Baby Stay. "She directed the video and edited it, and it's so amazing. She's so talented." You can watch the performance here. Martha also recommends watching The Bachelorette. MJ recommends the Twitter account WeRateDogs™, a Twitter account that gives very optimistic and absurd ratings to dog photos.
