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.
