In this urgently needed guide, the PBS host, award-winning journalist, and author teaches us how to have productive conversations about race, offering insights, advice, and support. A self-described "light-skinned Black Jew", Celeste Headlee has been forced to speak about race - including having to defend or define her own - since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she's made it a priority to talk about race proactively. She's discovered, however, that those exchanges have rarely been productive. While many people say they want to talk about race, the reality is, they want to talk about race with people who agree with them. The subject makes us uncomfortable; it's often not considered polite or appropriate.
