In Summer 2021, Isaac will release his autobiography, Black Boy Fly: Embracing My Ancestry, Blackness, and Purpose in the African Diaspora.
Literature and music have been constant forces in Isaac's life. This book was inspired by Richard Wright’s similarly titled novel, Black Boy, and by a song, Black Boy Fly, from Kendrick Lamar’s debut album. Wright's books helped shape Isaac's perspective on the struggle of African Americans. Kendrick Lamar’s music, a dramatic blend of poetry and musicianship, provided Isaac with various guides toward understanding the modern-day plight of African Americans. |
