Buy The Seven Daughters of Dupree (https://www.simonandschuster.com/book...) Today! This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks wit Shanda McManus (https://www.shandamcmanus.com) , author of Brother Epistles: A Sister's Memoir (https://www.splitlippress.com/catalog...) . In the book Shanda writes letters to her brother Monir, who was murdered in 1992, finally reckoning with her grief more than 30 years later. In our conversation, Shanda discusses why she believes, death doesn’t sever relationships or connections. And why she says her brother’s death is a result of the in-between economy and the systemic structures that funnel young Black men toward homicide.
