My Afmerica explores the tensions and complexities of interracial family relationships in a nation still divided by racism and still haunted by its history of enslavement. The speaker relates historical events against the backdrop of her interracial family - white, black, and mixed-race - and her worries, hopes, and dreams for all. Yet, in the everyday life events related by the speaker, there is healing and movement towards an America/Afmerica -- one that doesn't dismiss the difficult past, and embraces a future of equality and hope.
