Affirmed: Life Lessons In Racial Healing And Transformation

What if you could heal the world by eradicating racism one person at a time?This is the question that motivated the writing of AFFIRMED. Based upon actual lived experiences AFFIRMED answers the question for the writer -- yet for the reader only time and intention will tell.Written as a compilation of thirteen life lessons AFFIRMED breaks a silence about being biracial in America: the love the heartache-- and the resiliency of an exceptional life transformed through racial healing. ​Beginning prior to Loving vs. Virginia AFFIRMED traverses San Francisco and the South exploring three generations of family evolution. AFFIRMED is not a politically correct memoir. It is not the expression of a tragedy. AFFIRMED is so much more. It is a courageous outpouring of a heart that beats to the tune of the current racial climate yet honors a legacy of ancestry. Brutally honest each lesson confronts the intersections of identity conformity tradition and heritage in a manner that exposes the strengths of choice in a changing world. AFFIRMED is a victorious revelation pragmatic yet thoughtfully optimistic about the future.
