Talking to Buzzfeed, Angie Thomas, who was twenty-three and a student at Bellhaven University in Mississippi when she wrote the story that become the book and movie, The Hate U Give, tells an inspiring tale of a young person with a fresh and honest way of looking at harsh experiences who reaches out to a literary agent (via Twitter!) and ends up with a book contract, a runaway bestseller, and a position at thirty-one of success and influence.
