Summary
Made in conjunction with her two-person show at Fuller Rosen, Miller's publication My Black is the Color of the Sun digs deep into the effects of racist stereotypes on individual black identity, and celebrates blackness in all its beauty. Miller takes the reader through her early childhood life and teen years, sharing personal anecdotes about the struggle of loving your appearance despite beauty standards and societal norms. Her fragmented memories feel incredibly personal, all while painting a larger picture of how internalized racism pervades every aspect of American culture.
