The author writes an evocative autoethnography about living through another racist experience that dislodges pain, shock, anger, and sadness. Her firsthand article, White Whispers (2008) had already exposed another moment of suffering. As teacher, writer, mother, musician, and daughter, she reflects, again, on living in both a culture of diversity and culture of racism despite social efforts at advancing equity for people of color. Overall, she tries to make sense of the cultural and social phenomena of racism as, “one’s own storytelling can be a source of healing.”
