    Book 3: Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

    Well, that’s a wrap! I hope you enjoyed hearing about these books and feel inspired to maybe read one of them. Comment on Mixed by Gen Z’s social media if you’ve read these books or if you have other recommendations for books to read about the mixed-race experience!
