    By contrast, I watched a lot of American and British television, and they had at least one thing I could relate to — and that was diversity. In the early 70s, shows like Sanford and Son hit American television and quickly spread around the world. How can it be? Shows like that were game changers for black storytelling.

    You can find a short recap of my book on BooksDaily. I am currently working on a memoir, which I hope to have published in a month or two. This is great advice.
