Send us a textFrom the streets of 1980s Philadelphia to the corridors of major publishing houses, Omar Tyree's journey has been defined by audacious pivots and authentic storytelling. The New York Times bestselling author of "Flyy Girl" joins Sanya to explore the experiences that shaped his literary voice and career.Tyree reveals how growing up as the oldest grandchild in a household full of aunts, uncles, and cousins cultivated his natural storytelling abilities. Though initially pursuing football and pharmacy, his talent for vividly recounting neighborhood experiences eventually led him to writing. "I wasn't reading books. I wasn't on the reading side until college," Tyree explains. "The whole storytelling thing was watching movies and telling stories in the neighborhoods."With characteristic candor, Tyree discusses the challenges and triumphs of breaking into publishing, from self-publishing his early works to landing a major deal with Simon & Schuster. He shares valuable insights for aspiring authors about research methods, genre flexibility, and maintaining authenticity while building an audience. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Tyree reveals how his iconic "Flyy Girl" trilogy—newly reimagined with fresh covers—charts the evolution of Black female identity through its protagonist's elevation from street-smart youth to business powerhouse.Perhaps most compelling is Tyree's thoughtful examination of the growing disconnect between Black men and women in contemporary relationships. Drawing from both personal experience and cultural observation, he offers a nuanced perspective on how changing family dynamics, economic shifts, and communication barriers have altered relationship expectations. "We're going to start those new conversations," Tyree promises about his upcoming book tour, where he plans to address these complex issues head-on.Whether you're an aspiring writer seeking publishing insights, a longtime fan of Tyree's work, or someone interested in thoughtful discussions about modern relationships, this conversation delivers both practical wisdom and thought-provoking perspectives on navigating life's pivotal moments with courage and authenticity.Support the show
