This week we dive into the deep end with New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Samira Ahmed!
We chat about how the stories we read as kids stay with us and shape how we interact with the world. And Samira tells us how her love of sci-fi and speculative fiction from an early age has continued to influence her as a reader and a writer. Her fascination with the what ifs and fierce characters give her books a common thread that always resonates with readers. ✨
Then, we share our deep love for libraries and everything they offer their communities. And Samira emphasizes the need for these critical third spaces, especially in these contentious times. 📚
