My Books Tell Part Of My Story

The rest has been shaped by a lifetime of experiences, conversations, and work at the intersection of identity, race, family, and belonging. That work has taken me from the pages of my books to national conversations and television, including my role as a consultant for the Emmy-winning series *This Is Us*. The story extends beyond the page—and continues through the people, ideas, and conversations my work brings together. **Jess Rosenthal, Executive Producer of *This Is Us*, holds Rhonda’s *In Their Voices: Black Americans on Transracial Adoption* in his Paramount Studios office.**
