Ren asked Roxane Gay:

What are some books that you feel really influenced the either or both of the books you published this year? Or just really influenced you as a writer generally?

Nicole Power
Nicole Power asked Roxane Gay:

So in your book, you talked about season one of Orange is the New Black, and I'm curious how did you feel about season two? Personally, I'm irritadated by what Seems like inherent racism, but I didn't notice others reacting the same way. (Also, Piper is the worst..) Anyhow, what'd you think?

Tricia Nociti
Tricia Nociti asked Roxane Gay:

Last week I went and saw the movie Hidden Figures. As I was watching I was wondering about your thoughts on it (movie or book)? I've not yet read the book. I listened to your essay regarding The Help and it really, really gave me a new perspective on it.
