Interview with D. Watkins: Reflections on Success, Sobriety, and Storytelling

In this compelling interview, I sit down with D. Watkins, who shares his reflections on receiving the James Beard Award for his 2020 essay and the complex emotions that come with it. Despite the honor, D emphasizes the importance of hard work and continuous personal development.


We dive into his journey of sobriety, discussing how it has reshaped his views on social interactions and the drinking culture. D shares powerful insights from his work on 'The Wire' and 'We Own This City,' and how his Baltimore roots influenced his resilience and writing.


Join us as D opens up about childhood trauma, emotional intelligence, and the need for constructive opportunities for our youth. This conversation is a testament to the transformative power of storytelling and the importance of understanding our past to shape our future.
