Book description (provided by author):

Rethinking Race: A Memoir was written as an act of compassionate antiracism. It is the story of the challenges and triumphs that an African American mother experiences raising her biracial, multiethnic child with her husband who most identify as white but who is a citizen of an Indigenous tribal nation. The story is one of transformation. It illustrates how the author evolved from taking race for granted as an immutable part of our identity to understanding that it is a very impactful illusion that each of us helps to create every day.
