Blended: Perspectives on Belonging

Blended- Perspectives on Belonging / A Participatory Notebook is Velda Thomas’ first book from her publishing company, Stardust Press. A poetic, deeply personal body of soul work, Blended draws the reader through explorations of race, family, identity, trauma, and generational healing with truly honest vulnerability and insight. Peppered with questions and blank pages to invite the reader to process and reflect as collaborator with the text, Blended challenges, invites depth, and inspires interconnectedness with the human condition.

Blended is a book that can be opened at any page to allow Velda’s words to gently work the edges of old and new belief systems, or be read cover to cover to experience a full journey of healing. Filled with Velda's dynamic black and white linocut prints, Blended is a timely, creative, powerfully beautiful work of art.
