Black White and Mocha Cream: Poems

By Angela Marie

Black White and Mocha Cream is a book about diversity. It is a conglomerate perspective about educational issues from the perspective of students and teachers. It speaks about interracial relationships. It speaks about abuse and its complexities. Black White and Mocha Cream is a tasteful brew of topics sweetened by Angelas eloquent choice of words. Her words discuss issues that many people face, witness, experience, or ignore.
