I spoke with Kaitlyn Greenidge about reimagining what freedom looks like and writing about a mother who gets to have wider world ambitions while still being a parent.
Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Glamour, The Believer, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar-where she is currently the magazine’s features director-and other places. Kaitlyn Greenidge is a historian, writer, and the award-winning author of We Love You, Charlie Freeman. Yet the issues of colorism, gender roles, and creed continue to prevail in these collective sanctuaries.
Greenidge deliberately moves readers from Weeksville-the free, working-class Black community in Central Brooklyn-to Jacmel, Haiti-the first free Black Republic-in order to recreate spaces for Black communities, by Black people.
