Etan Thomas conducted a passionate interview with actor and first time author Omar Epps at Mahagony Books in Southeast Washington D.C. The crowd laughed, had tears in their eyes, and were hanging on the edge of their seats as the two discussed how being a father pushed them both to write their books. The discussion lasted for over an hour, as the two held court in front of a captivated crowd. This discussion really brought both of their books to life.
