Kris Mongo asked Kalisha Buckhanon:

I just finished and absolutely loved your book Upstate. I listened to the audio version and really enjoyed the two narrators. They were amazing in relaying the passion, frustrations, anger, love etc. that your characters were feeling. Did you have any input in the selection of the narrators? Thank-you, Kris

Kalisha Buckhanon Thank you Kris. The audiobook won the Audie Award for Literary Fiction due to those narrators. They are phenomenal stage, tv, and screen actors I probably did not deserve for my first little book! Chadwick Boseman is making a name for himself in Hollywood now. He was a playwright and actor in Chicago at that time, so I was fortunate to meet him after he played in my work and also go see him in some of his own work as well. Many blessings, Kalisha
