　　“Tell anyone who asks that you’re half-black and half-white,

just like David Hasselhoff from Knight Rider.”–Angela’s

mother

“Love has no color,” insist Angela Nissel’s parents, but does it

have a clue? In this candid, funny, and poignant memoir, Angela

recounts growing up biracial in Philadelphia–moving back and forth

between black inner-city schools and white prep schools–where her

racial ambiguity and doomed attempts to blend in dog her teen

years. Once in college, Angela experiments with black activism

(hoping to find clarity in extremism), capitalizes on her “exotic”

look at a strip club, and ends up with a major case of the blues

(aka, a racial identity problem). Yet Angela is never down for the

count. After moving to Los Angeles, she discovers that being

multiracial is anything but simple, especially in terms of dating

and romance.

By turns a comedy of errors and a moving coming-of-age chronicle,

Mixed traces one woman’s unforgettable journey to self-acceptance

and belonging.

Praise for Mixed

“I love Angela Nissel's writing. Reading Mixed was like getting a

letter from a best friend I forgot I had. How ironic that a book

written by someone who felt like no one "got" her will surely be

one of those rare books everyone gets- black, white, both, neither.

Hilarious, sweet, and honest, Mixed is the perfect read if you've

ever felt like the one standing on the outside-- and let's face it,

who hasn't? - -Jill Soloway, author of Tiny Ladies in Shiny

Pants

“Nissel is humorous, poignant, and proud yet also empathetic and

generous as she recounts her constant struggle to answer the

perennial question persons of mixed race seem required to ask of

themselves in our society–where do I fit in?.... All readers stand

to learn from her account.” — Booklist

“Colorful anecdotes, marvelous dialogue and a thoughtful

narrative make this memoir a delight.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred

review)

"If David Sedaris was a straight biracial female, this is the

book he'd write. This book is so funny I've already started telling

people I helped Angela write it." -- Bill Lawrence, creator of

Scrubs

"Growing up black and white, I always felt I had the best of both

worlds. I feel the same way about Mixed. It's the perfect blend of

hilarious comedy and sometimes tragic reality." -- Yvette Lee

Bowser, creator of Living Single and executive producer of Half and

Half

"Mixed is a hilarious must-read for anyone searching for the

enchanting path to self-discovery. Angela Nissel's precise account

of living the mixed race experience not only hit home with me, but

the journey is deliciously enlightening and heart-rending at the

same time. It's a journey well worth taking." --Halle Berry

……

　　Angela Nissel was born and raised in Philadelphia, where she

graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in

medical anthropology. She later started a dotcom, Okayplayer.com,

which is still alive and well, but she left it permanently to the

care of its cofounder after The Broke Diaries was published. She

decided to pursue writing full time and finally ventured out of

Philadelphia to Hollywood.

　　Upon arriving in Hollywood, she learned that just because people

call themselves producers and say they can give you a job writing

the screenplay of your book, it doesn’t mean they can. Broke, she

put a few possessions on eBay; the winning bidder on one item was

an executive at Warner Brothers who had read The Broke Diaries and

who then introduced Nissel to her television literary agent. This

agent sent copies of The Broke Diaries to everyone hiring comedy

writers, and soon Nissel had numerous job offers. She accepted a

position as a staff writer on NBC’s medical comedy, Scrubs. She’s

been there for four years and is currently consulting producer of

the show.

　　This is the only job she’s had where her medical anthropology

degree has come in handy.
