Affirmed: Life Lessons In Racial Healing And Transformation

By Sheli Turner

Book Overview

What if you could heal the world by eradicating racism, one person at a time?

This is the question that motivated the writing of AFFIRMED. Based upon actual lived experiences, AFFIRMED answers the question for the writer -- yet for the reader, only time and intention will tell.

Written as a compilation of thirteen "life lessons", AFFIRMED breaks a silence about being biracial in America: the love, the heartache-- and the resiliency of an exceptional life transformed through racial healing.

​Beginning prior to Loving vs. Virginia, AFFIRMED traverses San Francisco and the South, exploring three generations of family evolution. AFFIRMED is not a politically correct memoir. It is not the expression of a tragedy. AFFIRMED is so much more. It is a courageous outpouring of a heart that beats to the tune of the current racial climate, yet honors a legacy of ancestry. Brutally honest, each lesson confronts the intersections of identity, conformity, tradition and heritage in a manner that exposes the strengths of choice in a changing world.

AFFIRMED is a victorious revelation, pragmatic yet thoughtfully optimistic about the future.
