Tell Me Who You Are

Sharing Our Stories of Race, Culture, & Identity

By: Winona Guo, Priya Vulchi

Narrated by: Winona Guo, Priya Vulchi, Elizabeth Liang, Dominic Hoffman

An eye-opening exploration of race in America

In this deeply inspiring audiobook, Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi recount their experiences talking to people from all walks of life about race and identity on a cross-country tour of America. Spurred by the realization that they had nearly completed high school without hearing any substantive discussion about racism in school, the two young women deferred college admission for a year to collect first-person accounts of how racism plays out in this country every day--and often in unexpected ways.

In Tell Me Who You Are, Guo and Vulchi reveal the lines that separate us based on race or other perceived differences and how telling our stories--and listening deeply to the stories of others--are the first and most crucial steps we can take towards negating racial inequity in our culture. Featuring interviews with over 150 Americans, this intimate toolkit also offers a deep examination of the seeds of racism and strategies for effecting change.

This groundbreaking audiobook will inspire readers to join Guo and Vulchi in imagining an America in which we can fully understand and appreciate who we are.

A must-listen for every American

Powerful & well-organized account of real human stories as well as clear definitions and descriptions of terms and phrases about race (a human construct), identity, equity and intersectionality that are commonly misunderstood or biased.

Having listened to the full audiobook, I am now more informed and equipped to find my place in the broader mission to make America a more just and equitable place for all - particularly as a European-American woman in a cross-cultural marriage to an Asian-Australian man.

Thank you Winona & Priya for following through on your vision for this book and ongoing mission. Continue to be bold, brave and compassionate. You are both an inspiration!

Great book, audio book needs editing

This is a really relatable and important book on the issue of race in America. I love that the authors are college-age students who set out to listen to people’s stories and then share that with us. I also appreciated the historical commentary and definition of terms that are interspersed throughout.
The editing needs work on the audio book. In the middle there were times that words were missing and at least once when a section was repeated.

An absolute must read by all

Read, reflect, engage...
Powerful to see students become teachers...

Amazing Stories about Racism in America

Can't really elaborate; you just need to listen to the book! Such moving and intricate stories about racism in America from all angles.

Excellent stories shared!

I learned so much from the intersectionality within groups that really highlights how the characteristic most obvious to other people about an individual guides how they interact with an individual. Terminology used in this book was new to me and some was known but I didn't know it that way. I encourage anyone who needs more language and concepts to help guide your future interactions with others in a climate of odd happens where allies need to created.
