Why Now
As public conversations around race grow louder yet increasingly polarized, Nobody Told Me I Am Black offers a measured, personal, and data-informed lens. The work does not argue from outrage. It examines the origin of belief, the weight of history, and the everyday behaviors that sustain inequity without intention.
