Not everything in life is cut and dry, or black and white, but what happens when you as a person fall into this ‘grey area’? Shades of Grey is the story of a young woman who was adopted by her mother’s employers and as a result is a “black” girl who was brought up in a “white” home. This is a touching story told a by a woman who feels both privileged and disadvantaged by the fact that she defies racial labels and forces one to reconsider their views on race, class and gender and its impact on who we are.
