Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Author Uzodinma Iweala
In the new novel, “Speak No Evil,” Harvard-bound track star Niru is the son of wealthy Nigerian immigrants living just outside Washington, D.C. Niru is also gay, and after he comes out to his best friend Meredith, his relationship with his family, faith and future is permanently altered. For a deeper dive into Niru’s story, Kojo speaks with “Speak No Evil” novelist and D.C. native Uzodinma Iweala about his third book and how his local upbringing affects his storytelling.
