The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures Conversation with Brit Bennett

Brit Bennett is the author of the dazzling coming of age novel The Mothers and the National Book Award nominated novel, The Vanishing Half. Already a much buzzed about social commentator, well-known for her powerful personal essays, Bennett is one of today's most exciting new voices in literary fiction. Her spoken words are as unflinching and memorable as her writing and give audiences a window into her craft while exploring broader themes of race and systemic injustice.

No stranger to dolls herself, Bennett was a childhood American Girl fan and is the New York Times best-selling author of Meet Claudie. Claudie’s story takes place in 1922, a time when Black people from all over America and the world came together in Harlem to celebrate their rich and varied cultures, and to discover new opportunities and possibilities.
