Bestselling author and Grammy Award-winning recording artist Alicia Keys in conversation with Donya Craddock co-owner of The Dock Bookshop in Ft. Worth, TX at the ABA Winter Institute Grand Finale as they discuss Keys’ new graphic novel, Girl on Fire; the complex ways race shapes the realities that young people, especially young women of color, face today; and the importance of the written and illustrated word. With Girl on Fire, Keys shines a light on the challenges of growing-up in a world that seems intent on making young Black women feel powerless and gives voice to a generation ready to stand-up for what they know is right.
