When a book changes how you see yourself — and where you come from.

In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins talks with Kimberly Ann Harrison — executive producer and showrunner (Friends, Law & Order, Criminal Minds, The Crossover).

Kimberly shares how Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor helped her understand her grandmother’s past, her own identity, and the power of living her truth. Kimberly’s adaptation of Washington Black is streaming now on Hulu, and her debut novel Beyond the Paddock is available on Amazon.
