What does it mean to truly belong? Author Ebony LaDelle joins me to talk about her new anthology You’ve Got a Place Here Too, a collection of love stories set on HBCU campuses that remind us how affirming it is to see yourself reflected in the pages of a book.In this episode, Ebony opens up about her own journey to Howard University, the teacher who changed her life, and why representation in literature is not just entertainment but a radical act of healing and affirmation. We explore the ways a place becomes its own character in storytelling, what it means to raise emotionally intelligent boys, and how Black teens can learn to see themselves as worthy of safe, expansive, joyful love.In this episode, we talk about:<ul><li>The inspiration behind <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18086/9780593875179" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You’ve Got a Place Here Too</a></li><li>Why HBCUs are such powerful backdrops for stories of love and identity</li><li>Raising boys who grow into safe, emotionally intelligent men</li><li>How literature can expand what’s possible for Black youth and communities</li></ul>Resources & Links<ul><li>Connect with Ebony LaDelle:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ebonyladelle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ebonyladelle</a></li><li>CLICK HERE to buy <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18086/9780593875179" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You’ve Got a Place Here Too</a> and <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18086/9781665908160" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Love Radio</a> on our <a href="http://bookshop.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bookshop.org</a> storefront</li><li>Visit Ebony’s site for tour dates: <a href="http://ebonyladelle.com/events" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ebonyladelle.com/events</a></li></ul>💌 If this conversation resonated, join my <a href="http://bewellsis.substack.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack </a>community for more reflections, wellness insights, and behind-the-scenes conversations.We’re supporting St Jude’s- head over to <a href="http://www.stjude.org/bewellsis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.stjude.org/bewellsis</a> right now and sign up to be a monthly donor.
