My Ebony Magazine Essay about the Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival

WARNING: This is not your parents' Ebony Magazine. True to the magazine's word they are really changing things up in their latest issues. In the May issue, on newstands NOW,  Ebony Magazine devotes a good dozen pages to stories and essays exploring the Mixed experience. I am honored that the editors asked me to write about the Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival that Fanshen Cox and I started in 2008. The story got a full-page spread--the best press the Festival has ever received given Ebony Magazine has a 1.25 million circulation rate. I hope you'll read the article. And I hope you'll consider donating to the Festival which is an all-volunteer effort (that means nobody gets paid at all!)--and we end up paying for out of own pockets when we don't raise enough money (last year we ended $2000 in the red). It's easy and it's tax-deductible. Thank you!
