#6 The Crisis of Climate and Colonialism with Imbolo Mbue

Hey book lovers! In this new episode, join Issie and Molly as they talk to Oprah-approved novelist and inspiring woman, Imbolo Mbue, author of this month's book of the month, How Beautiful We Were. We were so overjoyed to be able to pose all of our questions to Imbolo about her climate fiction, How Beautiful We Were, which we featured in our subscription boxes in pre release paperback format - which means our subscribers got their hands on the paperback early! Imbolo had so much wisdom to share about her research, everything she learned in the 19 years she was writing this novel, and about her journey as a writer, from her debut, Behold the Dreamers, to being featured in Oprah's Book Club! One thing we do want to make you aware of, is that the recording quality of this audio is not everything we wanted it to be, due to having to record Imbolo from America, and do the whole interview via Zoom! We made it work, and our podcast editor has made this sound as great as possible, and the main thing is that we can hear Imbolo and all her amazing insights, so please do excuse the quality, we were wrangling with technology throughout!
