A2A: Tricia Elam Walker

The Artist we are in conversation with this week is the fabulous Tricia Elam Walker. Speaking to her about her craft, we are reminded again that the journey of an artist is never linear and looks different for everyone. Growing up in the Roxbury area of Boston, Tricia went on to practice law for 16 years before she became a Novelist and Children's book author, penning Breathing Room, Nana Akua Goes to School and Dream Street.

 
In this latest episode she takes us through her journey of self expression from her fashion choices, to the stories she has written. Bringing us along with her on her path to self-actualization, Tricia shares the major influence her mother holds over her ongoing drive to create through literature. Artists like Tricia Elam Walker show us the importance of continued exploration and inspire us all to keep dreaming. She will appear as a featured writer at the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists Convention later this summer.
