Real American is the story of Julie Lythcott-Haims‘ journey from self-loathing to self-love as a Black and biracial woman living in predominantly white spaces.

The only child of a marriage between an African-American father and a white British mother, Julie shows how microaggressions, discrimination, and outright racism can puncture a person’s inner life with a thousand sharp cuts.

In sharing her path to self-acceptance, Julie also expresses the healing power of community in overcoming the hurtful isolation of being incessantly considered “the other.”

Real American is available from Bookshop.org and other booksellers.
