Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah is one of the foremost cultural critics to make our most iconic figures the most accessible human beings. From her masterpiece profile of Dave Chappelle for Believer Magazine, to her stellar essay on the complexities of Rachel Jeantel, Ghansah is now front and center for a #BriefButSpectacular moment on PBS News Hour on why she pays attention to the fearless moments of our legends.
Ghansah shares that she didn’t know how to read until she was about 12yo, but that when she did learn, she “read ravenously.” And also talks about her NY Times essay on Toni Morrison, in which she says she used the moment to “lay flowers at the feet of this woman.”
