As a member of Black Generation X, I grew up in a world my parents couldn’t prepare me for. They knew segregation. They had strategies for survival in that world. But when integration came, they had no roadmap to pass down.
That meant Gen X had to navigate new workplaces, schools, and communities without historical guidance. We were forced to learn by doing, often bridging the gap between our parents’ world and the new one we inherited.
This reality shaped how many of us approached leadership, resilience, and cultural identity.
📖 I explore these stories in my book Black Gen X in the Middle. For those interested in understanding generational transitions and cultural adaptation, I’d love for you to take a look.
