I had a wonderful time with the author of #Nightbirds, Kate J. Armstrong, on her podcast, The Exploress, about the strong women in #TheDavenports and the research that brought them to life!
I wanted THE DAVENPORTS to hold up examples of representation I wish I’d had as a teen, to focus on four young Black women discovering the courage to pursue their dreams—and loves—at a time when Jim Crow, fear, and distrust threatened both. And really, who doesn’t adore a grand estate, a glamorous ball, and a juicy romance or four?
