Bri sits down with Jamila Monroe (pronouns: she/her) to 'spill the tea' about the journey to literary representation; all the reading, writing, and rewriting she did before she wrote the novel that landed her an agent. They also talk about astrology, a love of social justice, Shonda Rhimes, true crime, and being Black, queer women.
