I was truly honored to welcome award-winning and NYT Bestselling author, Frederick Joseph to E Train Talks.

In case you didn't know, ​⁠ is a three-time New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author who has written powerful books for readers of all ages. In this interview, we discussed THIS THING OF OURS, EVERYTHING’S NOT LOST, and PLANTING HOPE, along with a few of his other meaningful and thought-provoking books.

Frederick’s commitment to creating positive change reaches far beyond his writing. He created the #BlackPantherChallenge, a fundraising campaign that raised nearly $1 million and helped more than 73,000 children around the world see BLACK PANTHER in theaters.

His writing and activism have earned him numerous honors, including recognition on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award.

This was a phenomenal conversation, one I won't soon forget and will forever cherish! It was fun, engaging, and full of surprises!
