Anyone who has ever searched in vain for their name on a souvenir keychain or had it mispronounced because it’s unique will relate to Luvvie Ajayi Jones’ latest book, Little Troublemaker Defends Her Name.

In this conversation with host Carol Jenkins, Luvvie Ajayi Jones also explores why “community” is more than a noun—it’s a verb—and shares strategies the Black community should be actively pursuing under the current administration.
