Interview with Dominica RPCV Author Shay Youngblood



Interview with Dominica RPCV Author Shay Youngblood

I FIRST LEARNED THAT Shay Youngblood (Dominica 1981) was a PCV from Laura Bice (Macedonia 1998–99) who is working temporarily in the New York Peace Corps Office. Laura had read Shay’s new novel Black Girl in Paris, and had also attended an event in New York where Shay read from the novel.

Elsewhere in this issue of our on-line newsletter, Laura reviews Shay’s Black Girl in Paris. Here we learn what Shay has to say about her own career as a writer and how her Peace Corps experience has affected her writing.
