Lets start with the sizzle before we get to the steak. Are you gonna run for president . I think i just got an f. applauding t. C. Boyle, welcome. My pleasure. Congratulations on the book. Thank you so much. I publish books all the time, every year, and i go out on the road and every once in a while somebody says, congratulations, and im wondering, for what . Its like going to war when you publish a book. No, its like giving birth, here it is. It was long awaited. No, no, the thing about this book that i thought was especially great was it took me back, truly took me back to the mid and early 90s, you know. This is a novel based on real events. Its based on the experience of biosphere, biosphere 2 in arizona in the early 90s. You have really drawn a picture that is similar to, but, in so many ways, different from the real thing. Well, thank you. When the biosphere 2 experiment first happened in 91 through 93 northeast of tucson, i was fascinated by this. Like most of the public, i clip
That word vagina would have not been said, you know, on public television. So when you sit back and you think, wow, i really have had an impact, i mean, on many levels, but on that particular issue the fact that you have changed how one word about a womans most intimate anatomy is seen and discussed. What does that mean for you . You know, its really hard to evaluate what youve done, you know, and its actually not for me to figure out. Hinojosa and youre such a humble person, i know that, but. What i feel good about is that people seem to say the word more, and what is significant about that is it means that vaginas actually exist, and if they exist, then we can have agency and rights over our vaginas, and we can know what gives them pleasure or doesnt give them pleasure, and we can say no when we mean no, and we can.

You saw a problem and over time took it on and lets start with the sizzle before we get to the steak. Are you gonna run for president . Think i just got an f from you. applause Marcus Samuelsson, welcome. Thank you so much for having me. Im super excited to be in this iconic location. Great to be here with you, and im so excited about your cookbook. Thank you. So wonderful. I wonder why a cookbook from this restaurant. You have 11 restaurants all over the country, all over the world. When is it time for a restaurant to have its own cookbook . Well first of all, i mean my wife, my family, we live in harlem. I walk to work to the red rooster and its really, the community that has embraced us so much. So i felt like opening red rooster was really an opportunity to start a new conversation. Right. About as much about harlem as it is about food right . About the place, but also the mis, i think the miseducation about African Americans contribute about culture of this country. So harlem real
Africanamerican feminist. So who are audience in. You know, you dont hear a lot of talk on Mainstream Television about africanamerican feminism and feminists. No. You know, its so interesting to hear people respond to that first book, 2004. You know, i started that book as a dissertation, right . It was sort of a set of a set of explorations, of ideas me trying to figure out a lot of how i thought the world worked in terms of race and politics but very much informed not only by my academic scholarship, but by, you know, a particular formulation that came from my life experiences. So you know, im the child of a sort of freedom fighting africanamerican First Generation College professor, and in many ways, it was my fathers voice, my fathers experiences that helped to frame my understanding about what race in america is. Now, coming into adulthood and into true adult scholarship and into thinking of myself as. Hinojosa because that was baby scholarship . Yeah, well, i mean, it was. Hinojo

Thank you. cause you were there and then you left us and went into the big fancy hollywood thing and then you came back to tv.
