Jael Ealey Richardson is an author, a broadcaster and the Artistic Director/Founder of the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD), held each year in Brampton, Ontario. In this conversation, we talk about Jael's book, The Stone Thrower, her own identity journey and the importance of diversity in the stories we tell, and the books that we read, as young people and as adults.
