Goodreads asked Kenyatta A. C. Hinkle:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Kenyatta A. C. Hinkle Ten years ago my mother said to me, "Every time I call out your brother's name in the grocery store, all of the white men turn around as if I am addressing them and I say, "No, I am talking to my son."

At that point, I knew that I had to write a book about my brother being named Sir and what that meant for Black motherhood and all of the implications of raising Black children in hostile geographies.
