Friend of the pod, cultural critic, and Northwestern University professor of African American literature Lauren Michele Jackson joins us for our discussion of George Schuyler’s Black No More (1931). If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to read a wacky-ass novel written by a socialist-turned-right-wing nut, have we got the one for you. Schuyler’s novel takes up the story of what might happen if there were a machine that turned black people white (extra-white, in fact) and how various social and political actors would handle it. Spoiler: the KKK doesn’t handle it great. We discuss the terms/objects of satire and whether Schuyler was mostly just being a dick when he wrote this, the notion of the “grift” or confidence scheme, and how the novel puts pressure on “race” as a series of concepts. We read the Penguin edition with an introduction by Danzy Senna. For more context on Schuyler and his contentious relationship with other black writers of the 1920s and ‘30s, you can read Schuyler’s essay “The Negro-Art Hokum” and Langston Hughes’s response, “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain.” And, of course, we highly recommend Lauren’s White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue… and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation, published by Beacon Press.

Ever feel like a sh*tshow because you've got too many passions to focus on just one? (Me too!) Turns out this could be your secret superpower. Today on ARRIVED., I'm getting real with actor, model, host, singer, voice-over artist, and unapologetic multi-hyphenate creative, Lauren Aparicio, about leveraging your many talents to amplify your Voice. In this raw (and hilarious) convo, Lauren and I discuss how to embrace being multi-hyphenate creative; the quiet power of active listening; collaborating in the Clubhouse era; the problem with too much positivity; how to stop being a 'Shadow Artist'; redefining our own definition of success (um...yes!); and why to leave your Spanx in the closet, girl! Lauren's own multi-hyphenated career has taken her from early days in musical theatre and radio DJing into the music industry. Landing a role as a media rep for Warner Bros Records, she led tour production for artists such as Linkin Park, Chris Cornell, Natasha Bedingfield, Bush, & others. Her subsequent work in Film and TV production, and her love for acting, led her to a chance opportunity as a Set Assistant on the 2017 Al Pacino film, Hangman, and her fist principal role in Scorsese's The Irishman. Lauren is also known for her roles in Seasons 42 & 43 of Saturday Night Live and Homeland. Lauren's IGTV series, "Quarantined But Qute" drops weekly on Wednesdays! She also hosts several weekly Clubhouse Rooms, including "Behind the Curtain" and "Overheard Clubhouse".
