Hello, Family, Welcome to a special episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the world of literature and storytelling. I had the pleasure of hosting debut novelist Ishi Robinson, whose captivating coming-of-age story is already making waves. Her book, "Sweetness in the Skin," is a beautiful narrative that resonates with readers of all backgrounds, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the journey of self-discovery.Ishi's writing transports us into the life of a young Jamaican girl navigating the complexities of growing up, reminding us of our teenage years and the quest to understand life's twists and turns. This interview marked my first international conversation, and I can assure you it won't be the last. We delved into Ishi's experiences living across the globe, her inspirations for writing this compelling story, and the profound impact of colorism in her native Jamaica.Join us as we explore the rich layers of "Sweetness in the Skin," from its mouth-watering descriptions of Jamaican cuisine to its profound insights into love, family, and chasing dreams.
