Hopkinson has always had a vested interest in expanding racial and ethnic diversity in all facets of speculative fiction from its writers to its readers, and this desire is reflected in her award-winning anthologies. Her work best represents the current and ongoing colored wave of science fiction in the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn twenty-one interviews ranging from 1999 until 2021, \u003ci\u003eConversations with \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNalo Hopkinson\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a writer of fierce intelligence and humor in love with ideas and concerned with issues of identity.
