Zibby interviews acclaimed novelist, scholar, and repeat MDHTTRB guest Daniel Black about Black on Black: On Our Resilience and Brilliance in America, a piercing, vulnerable collection of essays about being black in America and the ongoing fight for change. Daniel reveals what inspired him to be so raw and vulnerable for this new project. He also talks about his journey to accepting and embracing his sexuality, his relationship with the church and God, and his thoughts on the Bible (which, he admits, he might just have to rewrite!). Zibby included Black on Black in her 2023 Most Anticipated Books of the Year, and it didn’t disappoint!

Zibby interviews author Patrick Brigley about All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me, an illuminating and beautifully written memoir about one of the world’s greatest museums and the guard who roamed its halls for a decade. Patrick shares his memories of his late brother, who died at age 28 and was the catalyst for a career change. Then, he describes what the museum, its art, and its workers taught him about himself and the world around him. Finally, he talks about the challenges of parenting, the books he likes to read, and what it was like to write this book mid-pandemic.
