Allie invites her friend — author and storyteller Patrice Gopo to share her experience as the child of Jamaican immigrants, born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. Through her story, Patrice examines the complexities of identity in our turbulent yet hopeful time of intersecting heritages. Patrice’s reflections invite us to consider our own journeys toward belonging, challenging us to wonder if the very differences dividing us might bring us together after all. Patrice is the author of “All the Colors We Will See: Reflections on Barriers, Brokenness, and Finding Our Way.”
