By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in celebration, and my first words were filled with the unmistakable delight of a woman getting what she wanted. I was born into love, and I have always known that I was enough.

#2 I was born in 1986 in Newark, California, a middle-class town that was predominantly White. My parents bought a house there so they could settle down and raise me in a diverse environment.

#3 My mother, Debra, was a sheltered, overachieving student with a preternaturally joyful disposition. She was born in Georgia, and was raised in Rochester, New York. She had the privilege of being raised by two-parent dual-income families.

#4 My mom, Debra, got a job at an aerospace corporation in 1979. She was a temp typist, and one day, she was escorted by an older White man to her desk, where lewd pictures of nude women hung in plain sight. She asked the man to take down the images, and he laughed nervously.

#1

I was born in celebration, and my first words were filled with the unmistakable delight of a woman getting what she wanted. I was born into love, and I have always known that I was enough.

#2

I was born in 1986 in Newark, California, a middle-class town that was predominantly White. My parents bought a house there so they could settle down and raise me in a diverse environment.

#3

My mother, Debra, was a sheltered, overachieving student with a preternaturally joyful disposition. She was born in Georgia, and was raised in Rochester, New York. She had the privilege of being raised by two-parent dual-income families.

#4

My mom, Debra, got a job at an aerospace corporation in 1979. She was a temp typist, and one day, she was escorted by an older White man to her desk, where lewd pictures of nude women hung in plain sight. She asked the man to take down the images, and he laughed nervously.

#5

My parents had a very difficult relationship, but they loved each other deeply. They knew that the world would not see them as a mixed marriage, so they decided before I was born that I would check Black.

#6

My brother and I never felt like we fit neatly into any box. We always felt like we could be anything, and we embraced that freedom.
