Roxane Gay may be a self-described introvert, but she's not one to shy away from a public fight. As a contributing writer for *The New York Times, *Gay has taken aim at President Trump, modern misogyny, racial discrimination within the police force. But it's her two best-selling books–*Bad Feminist *and *Hunger–*that cemented her place in the public discourse as a singular talent, someone able to write personally and politically in equal measure. She does the same on this week's episode, alternating between timely cultural commentary and candid self-reflection.
This is a story, in part, about how Roxane Gay arrived at the woman (and writer) she is today.
