In 2021, Gyasi authored the short story "Bad Blood" to be featured in [[The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story]]. The story depicts a young black mother's hypochondria as an effect of the history of racism and discrimination in healthcare, citing the 1932 [[Tuskegee Syphilis Study]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-09-14 |title=Episode 4: How the Bad Blood Started |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/13/podcasts/1619-slavery-healthcare.html |access-date=2024-05-10 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>In 2021, Gyasi authored the short story "Bad Blood" to be featured in [[The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story]].

Gyasi has been outspoken about her widespread recognition as a black author. In March 2021, she wrote an article in ''The Guardian'' about the resurgent popularity of ''Homegoing'' during [[Black Lives Matter]] protests the previous summer. She wrote: "While I do devoutly believe in the power of literature to challenge, to deepen, to change, I also know that buying books by black authors is but a theoretical, grievously belated and utterly impoverished response to centuries of physical and emotional harm."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gyasi|first=Yaa|date=2021-03-20|title=White people, black authors are not your medicine|url=http://www.theguardian.com/books/20...r-medicine|access-date=2021-03-21|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref>Gyasi has been outspoken about her widespread recognition as a black author.
