"Patricia and I hosted a beautiful author chat and book club discussion together. As she read selections from her Memoir, Blackinese, the energy in the room was engaged and electric. The discussion questions and book club activities she provided cultivated a very thoughtful, introspective, vulnerable and cozy vibe. This experience was so much more than just a book club discussion, it was a much needed point of connection for the community."

“We had the pleasure of discussing Patricia Moore's memoir, Blackinese, in a three-part virtual book club discussion sponsored by two of our ERGs. The book club format was a great way to engage with each other and share our own experiences that were similar or different from Moore's experience. I enjoyed learning new things about my teammates, and I valued and appreciated their vulnerability in sharing. It was truly a wonderful experience, and one that I highly recommend for other company ERGs."

“Participating in the book club was such a meaningful experience. It encouraged me to reflect on my own upbringing and emotions I hadn't fully explored before. I also gained a deeper appreciation for others' cultures and the challenges they've faced. The book club created space for honest reflection, connection, and growth."

“Blackinese is written to ignite the same courage, compassion, clarity, and curiosity that lights up its pages. Our group discussion of its stories and insights brought us closer to our shared humanity in a time when that can feel hard to find. The author generously shared the richness of her experiences to help you better know your own."

“Bradby Moore lays bare her vulnerability and, thus, strength… she deftly weaves vignettes of culture, race, heritage, language, society, family, school, religion, politics, and more, with such vibrance and richness, you will immediately see the world through a different and, assuredly, more empathetic lens"

Book Inspiration
Amidst the racial unrest of 2020, I was asked to write for VOICES - a community essay project to reflect the times we're living in. My essay sparked much conversation within my social network and inspired me to elaborate on my experience growing up multiracial in America.
