Bliss Books & Wine is thrilled to welcome author Cole Brown as he discusses his 4 year labor of love, Greyboy: Finding Blackness in a World of Whiteness.
Greyboy focuses on Black kids who grow up in white spaces and live at the crossroads of race, culture, and identity. Through a series of personal anecdotes and artfully described conversations with his peers, Cole explores what it’s like to be young and in search of identity. He digs into the places where, in youth, a “Greyboy’s” difference is most acutely felt: parenting, police brutality, racism and equity, depression, and dating, to name a few. Greyboy also explores the impact Presidential politics has had on this group.
About the Author:
Raised in the City of Brotherly Love & Sisterly Affection, Cole Brown is a Philly kid at heart. While spending childhood summers between Ethiopia and the Midwest, Cole matured in Philadelphia’s predominately white private schools and neighborhoods, an experience that delivered an awareness of race and class from a young age. After graduating high school, Cole moved to Washington D.C. to attend Georgetown University as a finance major. Landmark events such as the death of Michael Brown and the election of Donald Trump caused Cole to rethink his original plans. Cole graduated from Georgetown with a major in Justice and Peace Studies and a passion for storytelling.
We are thrilled to be a stop on Mr. Brown’s whirlwind virtual tour. You do not want to miss out on this special access event!
Greyboy will become available to the public on September 15th. Grab your PRE-ORDER COPY NOW!
