Damon Young offers a personal account of being Black in America in new book
Written by Vocalo Radio on April 16, 2019
Damon Young is a writer, a cultural critic, a co-founder of Very Smart Brothas, and one of the most prominent Black voices on the internet. His first book is a memoir called “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker.” It is a collection of humorous and profound personal essays that reflect on the angst and the absurdities of life as a Black man in modern-day America.
Damon spoke with Jill Hopkins on The Morning AMp about some of those personal experiences, and what made the time right to write this book.
