Across twelve unique and deeply personal, interconnected accounts, Emily Bernard shares the stories from her life that allow her to talk about race, honesty, family and interactions, and much more.
She analyzes the contrasts and nuances, the disturbing moments of her past and confronts the realities of growing up black in the South with a family name inherited from a white man. She recounts gaining a PhD from Yale, of marrying a white man from the North, and of many more moments that have defined her life and presented her with more reason to ponder the body she is in. An eye-opening account of a life far removed from many others around the world, but an important one to hear and comprehend.
