Uplifting Voices~ Angie Thomas
I made a commitment to uplifting voices this year, and one way that I can do that is by highlighting authors from marginalized communities and promoting diverse reads. I’ve created this series to feature various authors and my favorite books from their catalogues.
My first featured author is Angie Thomas.

Angie Thomas was born and raised in Mississippi, but now calls Atlanta her home. Her award-winning, acclaimed debut novel, The Hate U Give, is a #1 New York Times bestseller and major motion picture. Her second novel, On the Come Up, is a film on Paramount Plus. In 2021, Angie returned to the world of Garden Heights with Concrete Rose, a prequel to The Hate U Give. Her latest work, Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy, is Angie’s first foray into the fantasy genre.
