In her new essay, “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s Gun Problem,” Roxane Gay details her decision to become a gun owner and why she doesn’t think the US has missed its window on meaningful gun control. Sam and Roxane also discuss why you never want to peak in high school, the shift to writing for TV, and how the worst four words in the English language are “hop on a call.” “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s Gun Problem” is available now. It’s the capstone to “Roxane Gay &,” a curated series of ebooks and audiobooks, available exclusively on subscription hub Everand. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.
