So what does it mean to be “black” or “white” in America today? Is it something that can really be defined? And, if so, what exactly would those racially-defining characteristics be?
Mishna Wolff, a former model and a humorist tackles this question with humor, intelligence and style in her national bestselling book, I’m Down.
It is essentially the story of Mishna’s childhood growing up in a poor black neighborhood as a white girl being raised by her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. “He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosbyesqe sweater, gold chains, and a Kangol – telling jokes like Redd Foxx, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson.”
Unfortunately, she didn’t quite fit in with the neighborhood kids: she couldn’t dance, she couldn’t sing, she couldn’t double Dutch, and she was the worst player on her all-black basketball team. And yet when she was suddenly sent to a rich white school, she found she was too “black” to fit in with her white classmates.
Mishna and I will be discussing her memoirI’m Down – a hilarious look at what it means to be black and white in America!

Besides being able to offer their clients highly effective yet pain free, deep tissue manipulation using temperature with specific strokes, professional practitioners of this Geothermal Therapy also extend their working life by reducing physical stress on joints and muscles, and protecting them from injuries.
Jenny and I will be discussing the history of stone medicine and its connection to our Ina Maka (Mother Earth) and the reconnection of today’s wellness practitioners to this ancient art of healing.

Besides being an occupational therapist, a piano teacher, and a freelance writer, my guest for this week –Debora Cotyis also a mom, author, internationally published columnist and a sought after speaker because she is a gifted humorist.
Writing has become a passion and that can be attested by the many hours she spends each week hammering away on her desktop or laptop keyboard. As a matter of fact, her young adult historical fiction novel, The Distant Shore, which was released August 30, 2007climbed to the top of the VR Publishing best-seller list within three months!
Debora has a real knack for getting across sound biblical concepts with a refreshing lightheartedness as attested in her monthly newspaper column entitled Grace Notes: God’s Grace for Everyday Living.
Her new book titled, “Mom Needs Chocolate” has a universal mom appeal. In mom-to-mom, smile-provoking style, Coty paints her offbeat picture of reality with a tangy twist while offering outrageous coping tips, off-the-wall insights, sisterly hugs, and warm encouragement.
With witty frankness and wild abandon, she tackles the extremes of marriage, horror of embarrassing children, defeat (and re-defeat) of depression, aging grossfully (er, gracefully), and a veritable grocery-list of other mud between-your-toes issues.
Debora’s mission is simple: help women hear God’s still, small voice above blathering kids, howling pets, and snarling traffic.
Please call 347.327.9995 to join Debora and I live on the air on Tuesday 8/25/09 from 10-11 am US CDT and have tons of laughs as we discuss her life’s journey, and her new book.
