Rebecca Walker

I'm  a writer. I'm black, white, and Jewish. Which means I'm Jewish sometimes. At seder. At the nursing home where my grandmother doesn't recognize me. At Channukah when I put a little extra ghelt in my four year old son's 529 college savings plan. The rest of the time I'm Buddhist. And a mom. And black. And a writer. My first memoir, Black, White and Jewish describes this all personally, emotionally, exhaustively. It's very Jewish. And black. And Buddhist. I live in Hawaii. Where everyone is everything except, it seems, Jewish.
