Hey welcome to episode 89 of Lighten Up with Melanie Dale. Today I’m talking with Patrice Gopo, author of All the Colors We Will SeeWe chat about the importance of storytelling and talking about race and immigration. Patrice has a unique and important perspective and her story is captivating. Her parents are from Jamaica, she grew up in Alaska, moved to South Africa, married a Zimbabwean man, and now she lives in North Carolina. She shares about the complexity of her identity, feeling different, and how she’s processed her identity in her new book All the Colors We Will See.
