Tucker discusses the revised edition of her highly controversial children’s book, Don’t Call Me N!gga. This daring and critically honest book has kept both children and adults in amazement at the shockingly open display of emotions and the realistic language used by the book’s characters. The story focuses on the history of the so-called ‘N’ word, its negative connotations, and its impact on the African-American community.

Don’t Call Me N!gga has been featured on ABCnews.com, and Tucker has been interviewed by a Black Enterprise and The Ave. Magazine. She has also been a guest on the Roland S. Martin Show, who is a CNN news commentator (Chicago), and The Intersection w/ Rebecca Roberts (DC).
