A timely, race-conscious memoir that follows the life and career of a White man in America who spent his life in proximity to, and immersed within, Black and Brown communities. What starts as a Hip-Hop fueled decision to expand his existing world would lead to an underground rap career, a lifetime of political activism and education, and a group of Black families that would claim him as theirs. Most importantly, this is a story about family that doesn't share blood, how those bonds were formed, and how very American that experience is.
