Bakari T. Sellers is an American attorney, political commentator, and politician known for speaking his mind and advocating for the Black community. In April of this year, Sellers released his new book called “The Moment: Thoughts on the Race Reckoning That Wasn’t and How We All Can Move Forward Now.” Joy-Ann Reid, New York Times bestselling author and host of MSNBC’s "The Reid Out," called Sellers’ book “a must read,” saying “Sellers brilliantly and precisely cuts through the noise of the calculated, well-financed, and relentless campaign by conservative media, think tanks, and politicians to end the post-George Floyd ‘racial reckoning’ and reverse the civil rights victories of the past fifty years.” But that wasn’t all Sellers was up to this year. His podcast, “The Bakari Sellers Podcast,” was also nominated for a NAACP Award for Outstanding Podcast: Society and Culture. Sellers continues to rise in the political world, and now he’s getting his well-earned props.
