84k views!? Two of the most powerful minds in the world let alone the black community and this only has 84k views in 2 years. The world only wants to push black entertainment and not black brilliance.

He is aged writer, and he delivers exactly as he describes.

[@racheltheehermit7314]

I enjoyed Barack’s description of his own personal writing process. It’s different for everybody, but I feel a lot of young writers will/could benefit from hearing this particular segment. Glad I was able to listen in. Best to both of you very talented people. ☮️ 🇺🇸 ❤️

[@sparsons]

Heartening to hear people speak like this. And engrossing, too. Thank you to Mr. Obama and Ms. Wilkerson! And thanks to B&N for providing this!

[@arkadeyellow2931]

America's fall from grace can be summed up in one sentence : they went from a President who wrote THREE best sellers to a President who has never even READ one.

[@billygener4962]

Great conversation. Thank you B&N.

[@legacyleadershipcenter5312]

I write all my first drafts longhand too. It helps me work my thoughts out. I didn't have a rationale previously about why I did not type first on a computer, but what President Obama said resonates. I get the idea that what I type may be good.

[@judithvillegas6970]

Is she a child of Roy Wilkerson? I’m going to add her to my reading list.

it's Fox Opinion and Alternative non-facts, @ min 45:57 he said Fox news

[@cookwithsanjiv]

Listening to Obama - his choice of words, intelligence and erudition, and then comparing it to how Trump talks - how we have fallen as a country

[@joebloggs4933]

This guy is like Jesus Christ.

[@danielvargas543]

Hugh? What? Beheading Christians?

[@indocanadianadventure]

America has bigger problems than India. Slavery where you uproot another human from all they know to a new place in inhumane conditions is way worse. People were sold and owned like commodities. BTW Indians were treated in similar ways too - British brought them to work in sugar and farms. Even before that Turks/ Arabian invaders took so many Hindu slaves that they started calling mountains in Afghanistan Hindu Kush mountains (dead Hindus).
