It's hard out there for single women who date men. You've maybe heard friends complaining about the dating pool, or perhaps you yourself are navigating its murky waters. According to economics reporter Rachel Wolfe at The Wall Street Journal, American women are giving up on marriage, with only 34% of single women looking for romance, versus 54% of single men.Brittany is joined by Rachel, alongside Minda Honey, author of her memoir, The Heartbreak Years. Together they talk about the key reasons why women are less and less interested in the prospect of dating, let alone getting married.Support public media and receive ad-free listening & bonus content.

This week on Black and Published, Nikesha speaks with Minda Honey, author of the memoir, The Heartbreak Years. A retrospective for the twenty-somethings who are ready to stop leaping into the lives of the men they like and instead choose themselves and a life they love. The book is born out of Minda's series of essays for Longreads on dating politics. Her writing has also been featured in the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Washington Post, the Guardian, the Oxford American and Teen Vogue. In our conversation, Minda discusses, her life and loves including her high school sweetheart to maintaining a platonic relationship with a magnetic man. How she gained the confidence and arrogance to bet on herself and what some called her “raunchy” work. And the reason she says she hasn't given up on love despite the inherent risk and sometimes violence against women.

(Note, this episode is a replay that originally aired in February.) In this final installment of my talk with author and essayist Minda Honey, we cover: * The insights–on double consciousness, omniscience, and overlapping timelines–she got at a recent conference * How Andre 3000's new flute album is cracking open possibilities in her mind * The concept of a braided essay, and how it's like making a charcuterie board * The book Minda could not put down (and that made her cry) For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.

In part 2 of my interview with essayist and author of the memoir "The Heartbreak Years," Minda Honey, we really break down the inner parts of writing, including how to stay focused on the impact your work is having when all some people want to do is complain. (Note, this episode is a replay that originally aired in February.) Other things we cover: * How an earlier school of personal essays bordered into too personal, or what Minda referred to as “self-exploitation”, and how to make sure you're not doing that in your own personal writing * How even when you tell people what your book is about with a very clear title, some people are going to be upset by what you include in your book * How people are dismissive of women writing truthfully about all parts of their lives–and how she deals with the haters * Why doing the art that speaks to your soul is the only way to go * Her genius approach to dealing with the inner critic (preview: she proves it's a liar) * Why not every day is a day for writing * Why Minda had to start doing her own taxes at age 17 * Learning to cry * How Minda uses tools like human design and tarot in work and life For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.

Deesha Philyaw and Kiese Laymon sit down with Minda Honey to discuss her recently published memoir, The Heartbreak Years, and the role that Honey's own experiences, and the stories told to her by family, have had on shaping her work.  With her debut, Honey — who also edits Black Joy at Reckon — was praised for her ability to linger in the body and the desires of a Black woman while also seamlessly moving through not just place, but time. As Kiese Laymon says, “I actually thought what Minda was doing was like a new kind of travel writing.

She is a local writer, the new director of Spalding University's Creative Writing program, as well as the creator of LEO Weekly's advice column, Ask Minda Honey, where she gives her answers to all those relationship questions you've been dying to ask. She is currently busy writing a memoir that sounds like an updated version of Sex In The city with single black women making their way in California. We are going to talk all about the queen of Black American literature, Toni Morrison and what other books you should check out if you want to see Morrison's influence on the new generation of black writers. She also speaks to the best ways to make opportunities for yourself if you are a writer as well as her new plan to motivate people to read more with the age old incentive; money.

This just in, Fruitcakes! Racism is over. Kendall Jenner solved it by giving a cop a soft drink in a commercial. We're talking, of course, about the commercial Pepsi released (and has since pulled) wherein Jenner attends a Black-Lives-Matter-style protest, offers a police officer a Pepsi, and there is much rejoicing and U-N-I-T-Y all around. We talk about the many ways in which this is problematic this week on Strange Fruit. Our guest is Minda Honey, sex and relationship advice columnist for LEO Weekly. She's writing a book about the dating misadventures that have befallen her as a woman of color. While we had her in the studio, we couldn't resist telling a few tales of our own dating disasters. If you have a sex or relationship question, you can ask Minda at AskMindaHoney@leoweekly.com (Jai's already signed up for several anonymous email accounts, so watch your inbox, Minda).
