PHILADELPHIA - As a part of FOX 29’s Our Race Reality series, 25-year-old Philadelphia native Cole Brown joined Good Day’s Mike Jerrick and Karen Hepp to discuss his book “Greyboy: Finding Blackness in a White World.”Brown is a native of Chestnut Hill.
He attended both Penn Charter and Chestnut Hill Academy. He wanted to reach out to others and share his experiences with, as he says, living his life at the intersection of privilege and blackness.“This is not a ‘Woe-is-me’ narrative.
That said, I think my growing up was made more difficult by not seeing myself reflected in either my immediate environment or in the broader media landscape,” Cole explains.
