Kimberly L. Jones SOCIAL ACTIVIST AND AUTHOR Kimberly Latrice Jones is an American author and civil rights activist known for co- authoring the book I’m Not Dying With You Tonight and for the viral video How Can We Win . I’m Not Dying With You Tonight was a finalist for an NAACP Image Award and film rights were secured as well. In 2020, Kimberly was in Atlanta interviewing protesters taking part in the George Floyd protests. While doing so, she recorded a video about racism in the United States which subsequently went viral. In the seven minute video, Kimberly 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. Following the video's release, Henry Holt and Company signed a deal with Kimberly to publish two books, including How Can We Win, coming in out in January 2022. Kimberly has also signed a deal with Warner Bros. Television.
