  • Radio Broadcast
  • I will speaking online with Ella Curry on BAN Radio on Friday, January 25th at 9 p.m. and will talk about National AIDS day during that conversation. In my novel "The Other Sister," minister's daughter and athletic Sanita Jefferson finds out that her lack of responsible choices have put her at of contracting AIDS. This is not a "preachy" story, nor is this Sanita's only struggle, but it does affirm that it’s not always the other person and offer and opportunity to talk about this important community issues. ~Cheri Edwards
