“The Warmest Low is a story about a broken heart that happen to get broken in Baltimore—and the dreams and nightmares, weather, insects and strangers on the street who drove the writer’s journey of self-discovery…and eventually healing. A discussion with author Jordannah Elizabeth opens the door to celebrate Black diversity, individualism, and creative freedom.”
