Brown was named one of The Root’s 100 most influential African-Americans of 2018.

Lyz Lenz's book God Land explores faith, loss, and hope in the middle of America. In 2016, Lenz saw her marriage end, her church fail and her country fall apart. Her book investigates these changes, on a personal and national scale and asks if our personal and political divides can ever be bridged and if America can ever come together. Lenz is also a columnist for the Cedar Rapids Gazette and a contributing writer to the Columbia Journalism Review.
