From a former undergraduate student: “I was so happy to see that we're carrying your new book at the bookstore I work at over in Saratoga Springs! I know it's probably a given that your book would be sold in, well... a bookstore, but I still felt inclined to share my excitement! I wrote a staff review of it to sit alongside it on our shelf, which hopefully will grab the attention of more customers and thus, hopefully, introduce more people to the Togetherness Wayfinder (yay!). I'll attach a picture with the review tag (which must be kept short and sweet to fit).”

In the process of writing essays on this same topic. I see it as a cognitive developmental issue at the cultural level that could change generations for the better in the future. Found an ally!
Congratulations and this is exciting! Here's to the dismantling of racial mythologies and the reproduction of *whiteness*.
