  • Chicago vs. Everybody with Arionne Nettles
    Sep 3 2024

    This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Arionne Nettles, author of the book, We Are The Culture: Black Chicago's Influence on Everything. A university lecturer at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism as well as a culture reporter, Arionne's book is as much a love letter to her city as it is putting the world on notice… that Chicago is the epicenter for all things culture and cool… with receipts.


    In our conversation, Arionne explains why writing this book was really about asking questions people had been waiting all their lives to answer. Plus… how she balanced Chicago’s media reputation with the reality of the home she knows and loves. And… the stories she had to leave on the cutting room floor.
