Kimberly Latrice Jones (born 18 March 1976) is an American author known for co-authoring the book I'm Not Dying with You Tonight and for the viral video How Can We Win published during the George Floyd protests.
[2] The book, set in a fictional neighbourhood of Atlanta, follows two teenage girls, one black and one white, whose perspectives are challenged during a night of racial tension and riots in their city.
"[2] Paste magazine listed I'm Not Dying with You Tonight as one of the best young adult novels of August 2019, describing the story as "explosive" and "not to be missed".
[3] In their review, Publishers Weekly called the book "timely" and "accessible," but felt the characters and their arcs weren't fully realised.
[6] In the 7 minute video, Jones uses a Monopoly analogy to explain the history of racism and its impact on black Americans, and contests the dialogue around the protests, arguing that commentators should be discussing the reasons people were rioting, not what they were doing.
