In this interview, Toya and I discuss Last Summer on State Street, having her book selected by Steph Curry's Literati book club, how she ended up crafting Fifi as an adult reflecting back on the events happening in the book, the way the title and cover came about, what surprised her most when writing this book, preserving Chicago history, and much more.
Toya's recommended reads are:

Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley

Three Girls from Bronzeville by Dawn Turner

The Memory Librarian by Janelle Monae
