David Haynes is the board chair of Kimbilio. He’s also a novelist, author of 13 books and professor emeritus of English at Southern Methodist University. Host/producer Sarah Thompson speaks with David about Kimbilio’s mission to create a space where black writers can thrive. They also talk about David’s latest book, “Martha’s Daughter.” Learn more: https://kimbiliofiction.com, https://hayneswrites.com
