Both grew up in predominately white areas and relate experiences of how connecting with members of the Black community helped them feel more comfortable in their skin. Things such as musical tastes, preference hair styles and the way they carried themselves were are times a challenge.
The women also discuss influential figures in their lives, such as Ruby Bridges, a school-age girl who helped fight segregation, and Malcom X, a minister and human rights activist who was a prominent figure during the civil rights movement.
Davis and Young share experiences about dealing with racial conflict, and how they could handle a situation the similar to someone who was white but it was interpreted differently.
