Writer Biography
I was born in Boston/Cambridge Massachusetts in 1968. A few days before Martin Luther King was shot and killed, just to give you the tone of the times. I’m biracial and was adopted by a Caucasian family who was told they could pass me off as white. Sometimes they could, Sometimes they couldn’t. I don’t think this makes me an expert, but I have seen and observed many things in my life. Now, I want to tell this story.
