Your book sounds amazing. Was it difficult to delve into your own experiences while writing this?

Thanks so much, Claire!
Multiracial identity is something I think about and engage with on a daily basis, so in that way, writing about the internal conflicts associated wasn't too difficult. However, it took me a while to feel the comfortable taking inspiration from my own experiences and then the freedom to twist and adjust them as needed to better serve the story and book, I had to keep reminding myself that this is not a memoir.

Hello! I'm really excited to read your upcoming book, being a biracial person myself, I felt this resonated with people who are trying to find their identity. My question is...How did you go through a wonderful writing career, and daily life thus far as a multiracial person? How did you conquer any difficulties? Thank you!
