Historia
Beyond memoir, this guidebook offers practical advice on everything from "How to Be the Black Friend" to "How to Be the (Next) Black President" to "How to Celebrate Black History Month". This is a humorous, intelligent, and audacious guide that challenges and satirizes the so-called experts, purists, and racists who purport to speak for all Black people. With honest storytelling and biting wit, Baratunde plots a path not just to blackness, but one open to anyone interested in simply "how to be".

Her genre-busting personal style encouraged others to speak, to engage, even to dress as they wished.

Historia
For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family.

Heartening and a joy!
What made the experience of listening to Letters to a Young Artist the most enjoyable?
ADS has a warmth in her voice and delivery that makes the advice and recollections feel as though they are being delivered by a trusted family member. Like a gentle hand on your knee, reassuring your progress and path in authenticity.
Who was your favorite character and why?
As this was not a fiction piece, Anna Deavere Smith was my favorite character.
Which character – as performed by Anna Deavere Smith – was your favorite?
She did some characterizations but her recollections as herself were my favorite.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I wouldn't think an extreme reaction would come from this content, but it did make me contemplative.

Fantastic!!
Would you listen to Letters to a Young Artist again? Why?
I HAVE already listed to it again and will continue to keep it as a reminder of the principles I strive to up hold as an artist in this time of amazing change.
What other book might you compare Letters to a Young Artist to and why?
Perhaps Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" but in a creative sort of way. This book is not only a wonderful guide for the creative individual who's just trying to put a plan into perspective which is a very intense and complicated thing to do with creativity. (the flux of the unknown) It's also a guide to becoming a better human being. Being an artist is about taking responsibility of an amazing gift. It is not an excuse to avoid responsibility in any way shape or form because of the beautiful uninhibited, unpredictable, and out of this world influence that artists are sometimes afraid to loose with scary words such as presence and timeliness as well as many others that Anna Deavere Smith tackles like pro linebacker at the Superbowl. Bravo, Ms. Smith. I work full time as a professional artist and hung on every word with a smile and a wow. Thank you for sharing this creative wisdom.
Which character – as performed by Anna Deavere Smith – was your favorite?
Herself.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just smile.
Any additional comments?
This book is a great book for any creative venture. Whether creative bookkeeping or building a sculptural mind maze for the long trip through the worm hole to Mars... It's a guide, and a sweet invitation into what great things we can accomplish with principals to keep us intact, giving art and creativity a purpose of greatness as well as an open path.

Boring
Smith seems to simply ramble on about nonsense through the chapters. These stories have very little to offer in terms of a message. Terrible.
