What are the barriers of race and prejudice that keep us from building lasting bridges of inclusion and community? How can we dismantle them?

Join an online book discussion “Color and Belonging,” part of SVR’s Bridges to Belonging series – a conversation exploring how skin color and heritage shape our journeys toward finding a true sense of home. From a mother defending her multiracial family in suburban America and an immigrant bridging the cultural divide between India and the U.S., to a first-generation scholar redefining Black excellence through pop culture and academia, these authors examine the otherization and imposter syndrome that often accompany being different.

Panelists:
• Elizabeth Eastwood (I’m with Them: Lessons from My Children)
• Neerja Raman (The Chemistry of Belonging: Stories of Inheritance and Upbringing)
• La’Tonya “LT” Rease Miles (Smart Girl: A First-Gen Origin Story)
• Moderator Raji Pillai, scientist, book lover, writer and literary critic
