Journalist and podcaster Carvell Wallace regularly contributes to the New York Times Magazine, and has written cover profiles for Rolling Stone, GQ, and Esquire. His intimate, often heartbreaking essays address everything from the end of Barack Obama’s presidency, to the connections between cowboy poetry and forgotten histories of Black people, to the possibility that his mother would have wanted an abortion. Wallace’s new memoir, Another Word For Love, looks back on his own life, from experiencing homelessness with his mother to raising two teenagers in a disturbingly violent and precarious world. In 2019, Wallace co-wrote The Sixth Man with Andre Iguodala of the Golden State Warriors. On May 16, 2024, Carvell Wallace came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to be interviewed on stage by artist and visual journalist George McCalman, whose books include Illustrated Black History.
