• NCTE.org: "Angie Thomas Discusses On the Come Up"

  • ​"In The Hate U Give, I told teenagers, “You have a voice. It’s important. Use it.” But I would be doing them a huge disservice if I didn’t address the fact that so often when they do speak up and speak out, they’re criticized for how they speak, they’re policed on how they speak. Or they’re told that they’re too much this and they’re too little that. And [Bri] is a young lady who experiences those things. So for me, On the Come Up is telling them . . .  “Make some noise. Even when it makes people uncomfortable. Even when it challenges the status quo. Make some noise.” And that’s what this book is about."
