They Say I Talk "White" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503004207)

Hi. My name is Jillian Hanesworth. I'm 21 years old (I know... I'm a baby. But my birthday is in 7 days if that makes it any better.) I'm from Buffalo, NY. I was raised on the east side of Buffalo but I was always different from the other kids. I always had my head in a book, I wrote poems, song, stories, plays, and for a little while I even wrote raps (we won't get into that.) I went to Fredonia State University of New York and I loved it! I was the president of the historical Black Student Union and I had so many jobs (Including working for the Campus Life office and Volunteering/ working as a student ambassador for the Alumni House.) I changed my major three times and tried to drop out but thankfully, they wouldn't let me. They saw potential in me that I'm still trying to see for myself. It's safe to say I have a pretty concrete foundation. As you can probably tell by now, I am very opinionated and I really enjoy hearing the opinions of others. The reason I wrote this book (I don't even like calling it that because it's not what you think of when you think about a book) is because I think it's time for us to start addressing some of the issues that we see every day. I only chose four that I've noticed or experienced the most, but there are so many more. I want this book to be used as a tool for debates, discussions, and even encouragement. I want people to disagree with some points, get mad, agree, but most of all, talk about it. Thank you again to everyone who let be bug them on Facebook and in person. This would have been an epic fail without your input.
