Notes

Description
"An inspiring, timely, and conversation-starting memoir from the barrier-breaking and Emmy Award-winning journalist Ilia Calder�on-the first Afro-Latina to anchor a high-profile newscast for a major Hispanic broadcast network in the United States-about following your dreams, overcoming prejudice, and embracing your identity"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
In Choc�o, Colombia, the Afro-Latino province where Calder�on grew up, your skin could be any shade and you'd still be considered blood. Attending high school and college in Medell�in, she became familiar with horrifying racial slurs thrown at her both inside and outside of the classroom. Presented her the opportunity of a lifetime at Telemundo in Miami, she was excited to start a new life, and identity, in the United States, where racial boundaries, she believed, had long since dissolved and equality was the rule. Here she discusses building a new identity in the United States in the midst of racially charged violence and political polarization while overcoming fear and confronting hate head on. -- adapted from jacket
