DID NOT FINISH: 33%

Definitely for a younger audience - early teen. 
funny informative medium-paced

This book was incredible! It touched on so many of my own childhood experiences growing up as a mixed kid. I never knew anyone else who was Panamanian, and I often felt like I had to be defined by my background, race, and ethnicity. People would constantly ask me to speak Spanish once they found out I was mixed, and I even remember one girl telling me, “oh, well you’re more Black than anything.” Reading this collection made me feel seen in ways I hadn’t before. I really took it to heart and connected with the essays from a personal perspective. It’s powerful, authentic, and deeply relatable.
