Hosted by Naomi Mays, an instructor at Jackson State University, this podcast brings literature to life through thoughtful conversations with students, faculty, and community voices. Each episode explores boundary-pushing texts like Toni at Random by Dana Williams.Rooted in the brilliance and resilience of Black creativity, Black Literary Energy is inspired by Toni Morrison’s reminder of our “sheer energy, inventiveness, and innovation.” This podcast is more than a discussion—it’s a celebration of storytelling, critical thought, and the transformative power of doing our work.
