A thoughtprovoking and nuanced memoir on motherhood race and identity

Motherland will be a powerful response to the absence of an inclusive and accessible blueprint for navigating life as a multifaceted mother Joi will interrogate this silence providing a voice of understanding for all those who fall outside mainstream presentations of parenthood who have never seen themselves or their experiences represented

The typical mother painted in our culture has to combat the strains of motherhood but not motherhood and identity so this book will be a deep dive into the oftenfraught conversation both internal and external of what it means to be a parent in a space where you are the minority

Joi will consider how her personal and cultural identity intersect with motherhood and inform her identity as a parent interrogating how multicultural parenting and our past continues to affect and challenge our futures The book will be a crucial resource for anyone trying to navigate the complexities of race and motherhood who has ever felt other in some way who has struggled to reconcile their past with how they raise the next generation
