Black, Mixed With

Black, Mixed With is a powerful memoir that explores the strength in authenticity through adversity in the context of racial discrimination, colorism and the stigma of marginalized experiences. Author Erica Kidder curates a blend of facts and statistics, mixed with a little humor and an invigorating conversation about topics such as diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Through the dimensional experience of being African American, Puerto Rican and Italian-American as well as the intersectionality of being a single mother, Kidder chronicles her journey of her "life in the middle" and as a self-proclaimed "Black, broke, single mom navigating corporate America," who learns how to confront the aspects of her life that caused her shame, isolation and embarrassment.

Black, Mixed With is a celebration of who we truly are and the unalienable right we have to live freely, purposefully and joyfully in each aspect of our identity. This book speaks to a multiracial audience, those interested in personal and professional development in leadership development and individuals grappling with identity acceptance in a world where they feel like they don't always belong.
