About the Book

From Oakland to LA and back to the Bay, this compilation of true stories utilizes music and history to highlight the life experiences of one light-skinned Black woman, born in America. While this book highlights my experiences growing up Black in America, this book also highlights Oakland, LA, Black history, and much more! The chapters in my book, Redbone Diaries: The Soundtrack of My Life, are referred to as episodes. Most of the episodes and subtitles are named after songs.
