Don P. Hooper is a writer and filmmaker of Jamaican heritage (and a programmer in a former life). His short story Got Me a Jet Pack is part of the New York Times bestselling anthology Black Boy Joy. His directing work has been featured in the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, the New York City Horror Film Festival, the New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival (award winner), and more. He does voice-over in video games and documentaries. True True is his debut novel.
In this episode, Don helps us learn more about his debut novel and asks us to think further about how this book can expand the conversation on what it means to see and value one another's humanity.
