For Black authors, Justin C. Key and Shelley Page, writing is about more than entertainment — it’s about representation, identity, and perspective. From centering Black and queer characters to exploring joy, resilience, and intersectionality, they show how stories can teach, inspire, and reflect the full range of human experience.
