Indiana’s own Ashley C. Ford is going on tour across the Hoosier state. In an interview with WRTV, Ford shares why she talks about Indiana so much, why our childhood stories matter, and the importance of Black Hoosier history.
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s own Ashley C. Ford is going on tour across the Hoosier state this week, nearly a year after the release of her New York Times Bestselling memoir “Somebody’s Daughter.”
Although Ford's debut book has only recently been published, much of the world knows her work. The writer has had several essays and articles published in numerous publications, from New York Magazine to The Guardian. She's a social media sensation, often voicing her opinions and critiques on everything from literature, politics, race, pop culture, and, her home, Indiana.
Somebody's Daughter explores themes that her followers will recognize from her previous work, like race, body image, and education, but it also explores childhood and family. "I hope that they walk away understanding how powerful their stories are. And I do mean their stories, not the stories that other people tell them about who they are, who they should be. But the story they have about themselves right now," Ford told WRTV."That's an important story. That's a record worth keeping."
