Today, Florida writer Nikesha Williams joins us to talk about how her fiction writing career morphed into a full-time publishing career. Her press focuses on "publishing great writers who weave compelling narratives that intrigue, foster great conversation and debate, and urge people to action" much like Nikesha's first book, Four Women, did.\\xa0

At the end of the podcast, we talk about American Beach and what it means for the Black community \\u2013 and Florida's history.
