About this audiobook

Brown Enough, Christopher Rivas's first book, is a literary memoir about what it truly means to be Brown in America. Holding the weight of being a Latino man, Christopher wonders where he falls on the color line, widened through his experience as an ethnically am­biguous actor of color in Holly­wood and the man!) dangers and pitfalls that come from owning one's Brownness. Told through the lens of his personal stories and in a unique and literal voice, Christopher examines the deep history of his Dominican and Colombian heritage. Brown Enough is a breakthrough literary masterpiece that begs the question of what it means to be Brown in 21st century America, caught between cultures, and yet knowing that color lines are always starker than they appear.

Editor's Note

Life on the fringe…

Rivas, an actor (“Call Me Kat”), academic, and podcaster (“Rubirosa”), explores Hollywood, race, and the nuances of American culture in his literary debut. Thoughtful, intelligent, and vulnerable, “Brown Enough” is a memoir about life on the fringe — not white, not Black, not quite fitting in anywhere, but putting oneself out there nonetheless. Rivas’ experiences are relatable to anyone who’s ever fought to find their own identity.
