Steve Majors is the author of High Yella: A Modern Family Memoir. Kirkus Reviews called it “A brave reckoning with multiple questions of identity, class, family, race, and other thorny issues.” As part of SUNY Brockport’s Writers Forum, Majors will present the 2023 Art of Fact Reading on Wednesday, April 26, 7:30 p.m., at Brockport Downtown, Rochester Educational Opportunity Center, 161 Chestnut Street, Rochester. The event will also be livestreamed on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFZZqoKpL8U.
Majors grew up in rural Western New York. He was the youngest of five kids raised by a single mother. His work is inspired by his experience as a white appearing, mixed-race child in an all Black family and life as a gay man raising two Black daughters in an interracial, interfaith family.
Majors’ writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC Think, Huffington Post, and Medium.
