The Skin I’m In ushered in a new voice that lit up the literary landscape and became a modern classic, passed down through generations.

The Family I’m In presents John-John and Caleb, friends since childhood who have come face-to-face with the struggles and triumphs of growing into young men. They’re living in a world where many Black boys are up against generational expectations, fears of the future, and how to navigate being “nice” kids who just want to be seen for who they are.
