Fascinating new research on #multiracial #mixedrace identity out today. I also interviewed Dr. Sarah Gaither Duke Psychology & Neuroscience about "How the Brain Processes Mixed Race Faces" a few years ago and learned a lot. zora.medium.com/how-the-brain-…

Is anyone else fed up with these ridiculous bots of “hot” women with first names only all in CAPS who have zero followers, and (strangely) seem to appreciate and “like” literary, cultural and political insights as if they actually had a brain. This platform has gone to shit.

My friend Courtney Martin did an amazing job, asking such original and creative questions. I love that she zeroed in on the power and importance of our #dreams and was even more touched that she “fell in love” with my grandmother. 💕💕 Check it out: open.substack.com/pub/courtney/p…

L.A. Friends! For those who weren't able to join us at the previous book signings, please stop by the Book Jewel on March 30 to say hello! I would love to see you & have your support! And bring a friend! thegirlintheyellowponcho.com #family #memoir #biracial #bookstagram #booklovers

I’m so sad to say, but because of the upcoming storm we’ve decided to postpone this reading and signing. But please stay tuned for a new date at the Book Jewel in the near future! I hope to see you all there soon!! ❤️

Thank you@tiannathewriter! When this came out back in 1995, I got plenty of backlash from folks who simply weren't prepared to hear it, esp from a biracial, high yella girl like me (lol). I write about that painful experience in my memoir & stand by these words more than ever.🩷
