Hello EICherries 🍒 This week is a very special author episode with the incredibly talented and successful Candice Carty-Williams. It was an honour to speak to her about her highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Queenie – her debut novel exploring the highs and lows of a 20-something young Black woman. She was very open about the struggles of adapting the story for TV; why she decided to bring the character back now; chosen families, and her experience of productivity pressure and desperately needing to switch off. We loved speaking with her. Please do give us a rating or a Spotify comment on any topics we discussed, as we'd love to hear from you <3 Love O,R,B xxxx ------- Queenie Is Working On It is OUT NOW.
