About the Book
In a world that only sees things in Black and White, where do light skinned multiracial people fit into the picture?



B(lack)NESS & LATINI(dad) explores the liminal status of being Black, Latino, a father, low income, and more. This poetry collection is accompanied by illustrations curated by independent artists, with a special emphasis on artists of color and artists in the LGBTQIA community (or both). Through the use of spoken word poetry, Hip-Hop, oral histories and auto-ethnography, this project illustrates the power of the narrative and how it embodies a radical challenge to the popular narratives that are spread about race, marginalized people, and resistance. This is the print portion of the B(lack)NESS & LATINI(dad): Liminality multimedia project. The album can be found here https://iamsubversive.bandcamp.com/ .

Drawing on my experience growing up in Kansas City and attending the University of Chicago, I adapt to all audiences in relatable, entertaining, and informative ways.
