About this title

Synopsis

Her second Book is entitled, The Color of My Skin! It's based on a true story about a young black teenage female (KeeKee) inspired to be a high school cheerleader at a predominantly white high school, in a predominantly white neighborhood. As a result of being in that environment, she had to constantly battle against the invisible forces of institutional racism. Many of her peers with lesser determination would have surrendered in defeat or at the very lease, retreated to a silent state of discouragement. However, the real message of her book is not to dwell on racism, institutionalized or not, but to elevate the victories over the struggles and obstacles that she faced to become one of the first black varsity cheerleaders at Sachse High, since the opening of its first public school in the early 1900's.
