Overview

Growing Up Black in America Without Experiencing Racism: A New Reality and Hope for the Future is a culmination of facts, truths, solutions, and my own personal experiences. As a 29 year old black woman in America, I have literally never experienced racism. Therefore, I bring awareness to the many issues I have faced. Sadly, I have been torn down, abused, and my self-esteem lowered by those of my own race. I recognize racism as no longer the biggest problem that is plaguing the black community by bringing awareness to the many other issues that are. My purpose in writing this book is to make people consciously aware of the way that we treat each other. I want to help the black community acknowledge the many issues that are ignored so we can actively work on fixing them together; which in turn helps society become better. If we can't fix the world for us then we should unselfishly aim to fix it for younger generations because they deserve better. I hope these words cause a stir in you so that you begin using your voice for change as well. My intent is only to help our world become better TOGETHER.
