As a student researcher for the College of Arts and Letters at MSU, I had the opportunity to interview and meet with Roxane Gay, a prominent short-fiction author, blogger, and esteemed professor at Eastern Illinois University. I was tasked with asking her about her experiences as a writer, and creating videos and a website that highlighted the importance of her literary works and accomplishments.

This project was part of a larger collection of websites to celebrate the works of contemporary black women writers of fiction. For more samples of the interview, visit the Vimeo page.
