Blackinese

Reflections on Race and Ethnicity from a Biracial Millennial

De: Patricia Bradby Moore

Narrado por: Patricia Bradby Moore

In this candid and thought-provoking memoir, a millennial woman of Black and Chinese heritage reflects on the complexities of growing up with a mixed identity in the American South and beyond. From childhood memories to college experiences and a burgeoning career, Blackinese explores the nuances of race, culture, and belonging, tackling everything from food and music to dating, politics, and religion.

With vulnerable honesty, author Patricia Bradby Moore takes listeners on a journey through her ever-evolving sense of self, which has been shaped by her diverse upbringing and global travels. From navigating the challenges of being multiracial in the U.S. to exploring how race is understood and experienced in other parts of the world, her story speaks to the growing population of mixed-race individuals who don’t fit into simple boxes.

Blackinese is an invitation to reflect on identity, empathy, and the shared human experience. With every word, it encourages listeners to embrace their complexity and find strength in their uniqueness. This is a memoir for anyone who has ever felt they don’t quite fit the mold and for those who want to better understand what it means to live in a world where the lines of race and identity are anything but clear.
