Gregory Williams is the author of “Switch, DeBarge, Motown & Me.” A member of the R & B band, Switch, Williams takes his readers on a musical journey, where the quest of following one’s dreams can sometimes take an abysmal dive. In TV One’s biopic “The Bobby DeBarge Story,” Switch is featured in a huge storyline, and Williams’ character is played by the singer, Lloyd.
Trisha R. Thomas – the author of “Nappily Ever After,” now adapted into a Netflix film, starring Sanaa Lathan and Lyriq Bent. Both the book and movie tell the story of Venus Johnson, who has been cultivating a relationship with Clint Fairchild, supporting him through medical school and hoping to end up as a doctor’s wife. But at 34, she’s run out of patience with Clint’s reluctance to commit. She ends their relationship and sheds her shoulder-length, chemically-straightened hair in a bold act of liberation.
