How Did You Grow Up With the One-Drop Rule?
LZ Granderson: I grew up very much with the sense of race as a binary, a black white binary either or. My first book is a coming of age memoir about hip-hop culture and the street culture that's infused into the music. And so I wrote about kind of growing through this racial identity and then growing out of it in my first book, Losing My Cool. That blackness is more expansive than the way I had grown up thinking about it.
