My book, Black & White: An Intimate Multicultural Perspective on 'White Advantage' and the Paths to Change (Nimbus Publishing, 2022), is deeply personal and insightful and highlights the importance of collective progress. I share unfiltered stories of my experiences with anti-Black racism across Canada, the United States, and Europe, blending memoir and social analysis to provide a powerful examination of systemic racism. Through the use of extensive research blended with an introspective storytelling approach, I encourage readers to consider their own role in addressing racial inequality and working towards a more just and equitable society."  Learn more.
