Hi friends, I’m experimenting with not explaining myself after an absence. So: I’m back! I’ve got a one-day afternoon workshop coming up from the Miami Book Fair for the Miami Big Read this spring: Family Stories We (Tell Ourselves We) Can’t Tell. I taught the subject in my extended Writing About Ancestor Trouble
I'm possibly coming to Miami to see one of my mother's 95 y.o. cousins visiting from Ecuador, and if I am and it's the right dateline, I may get in touch to see if there's room in the workshop! Meanwhile, thank you for all these resources!
I'm new-ish to Substack so hadn't come across your newsletter before, but I have followed you elsewhere for many years. So glad you are writing and talking about family. I can't do the workshop but will look forward to following you now. And thank you for being free!
I will indeed. There’s a lot of great material on ant-racism but less about whiteness by White writers. If you like I can send you a link to a Substack piece I wrote about whiteness in The Great Gatsby. Thanks again!
Great piece! I too am happy to “see” you again. Thanks especially for mentioning The Right Kind of White. I am at work trying to interrogate whiteness and it sounds like something I need to read.

What a rich offering! Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of resources and experience.
Glad you’re back!
