Ep 88: Renée Watson

The super-savvy, super-smart author Renée Watson (her most recent
young adult novel, PIECING ME TOGETHER, is out now!) and founder
of the I, Too Arts Collective, talks taking herself seriously as
a writer from a young age, creative therapy for young people, and
finding people who are about something.
