This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Maura Cheecks, author of Acts of Forgiveness. The book is an outgrowth of her 2019 article, for the Atlantic, “American Wealth is Broken” which explores the necessity of reparations for Black families. Maura was awarded the 2019 Masthead Reporting Residency for The Atlantic’s first residency program where she worked on that article.
In our conversation Maura explains why she turned to fiction to address the very real critics of the long-stalled federal reparations program. Plus, why she’s not ready to take the journey of her character and dig into her own family history. And, why she believes when it comes to writing and publishing a book… authors are both the client and the customer.
