From Stolen Purse to Bestseller: LaJill Hunt on Faith, Fear & Finding Purpose | Not All Hood - with Candace Kelley & Guest Co Host Kimberly Latrice Jones
A stolen purse. A supervisor with a yellow legal pad. A prayed-over manuscript.
In this 59-minute Not All Hood conversation, bestselling author LaJill Hunt shares how an ordinary day at a call center turned into the divine spark behind her hit novel Drama Queen.
From her supervisor Benita Jewett pushing her to “write one,” to a surprise phone call from publisher Carl Weber, LaJill’s story is part miracle, part masterclass in trusting your assignment.
She opens up about living with anxiety, why she watches Hallmark movies to calm her mind, and how she refuses to elevate Black trauma for clicks — choosing instead to tell soft, honest Black stories about love, family, and faith.
The episode also explores how to:
Turn pain into purpose
Move through imposter syndrome and comparison
Redefine success beyond validation
Protect your peace while creating boldly
“Your problem might be your assignment.”
“Nobody’s firing you — go write one.” — Benita Jewett
