Growing up in a racially diverse community is one way to fight systemic racism, says Alison Bass in her memoir, Brassy Broad

In a recent magazine interview posted on Medium and Thrive Global, I talk about how I hope my memoir, Brassy Broad: How one Journalist helped pave the way to #MeToo, will open readers’ eyes in a number of ways: 1) about how living in a racially and religiously diverse community helps build tolerance and diminishes the systematic racism in our society; 2) How difficult it is for women to be taken seriously as investigative journalists; and 3) How important good watchdog journalism is in this day and age. The memoir is now available for preorder on Amazon, Bookshop and wherever books are sold.
