Congratulations Caroline!
You have always walked the talk and now are expanding “borderlands” to share with the world your dedication to dissecting the dynamics of privilege and oppression, shaping the depth of the dialogue, and promoting positive action to eradicate racism. I look forward to reading your book and following the discourse.
Take good care,
Temille
Interesting, but a hard book to read. I endeavor to treat people as individuals, but sometimes, it seems we, the American People, run in place, when it comes to race.
