This episode I speak with Kevin Hofmann, The Author of Growing Up Black In White. He shares his personal story of being Bi-Racial, adapted at the age of 3 months into an all white family and the dynamics surrounded around the family and within the family being different.

Kevin shares is WHY for writing the book and what he does to help others in understanding how to bridge the gap of racial divide.

Growing Up Black in White is author Kevin Hofmann's gift to the American public seeking answers to so many questions about what it is to be raised in a racially diverse household. Born to a white mother and black father in Detroit in 1967, only weeks before the terrible race riots that brought a major city to its knees, the author was taken to a foster home and then adopted by a white minister and his wife, already the parents of three biological children. In this fascinating memoir, Hofmann reveals the difficulties and joys of being part of this family, particularly during a time and in a location where acceptance was tentative and emotions regarding race ran high and hot. Hofmann shares with readers the pressures and joys of being part of a family that navigated through tumultuous waters, and came out the victors in an old and oft-fought battle. This is a book that offers insight, humor, and plenty of hope.
