Non-Fiction Memoir

As a young student, Phillips overheard someone say of him, "He talk like a white boy!" He never thought that speaking correctly would cause others to question his authenticity as an African- American. Little did he know what lay in his future. His choices in music, politics, faith, and family have given rise to many accusations of his not being "black enough." As an actor, Joseph has encountered even more pointing fingers, this time for not being liberal enough for Hollywood. With a frank voice and a loving heart, this brilliant and outspoken man presents a series of funny and thought-provoking essays that examine the simple fact that authenticity is far more complicated than one's choice of words or music.
