Description

Stacey Abrams joins James Patterson for a conversation about writing, identity, and finding her voice. She talks about growing up as the first generation in her family born with voting rights, how that shaped her sense of agency, and why a democracy only works when people can truly be heard.


Stacey also dives into her work as an author, from her early novels to her latest thriller, Coded Justice, featuring Avery Keene. She and James discuss ambition, storytelling, reading, and how real systems and community experiences influence her fiction.
