Roz Browne searches for her “tribe”—her connection to other people and places as she journeys through life. She was raised in a tight-knit family, surrounded by love, in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. At the age of 14, her family moved to a mostly all-white neighborhood, or as she says it, “There were 3 Black families on the block”. At the same time of that move, she was bussed to an all-white school in the suburbs of Boston. With these two major moves, Roz discovers a humorous way of dealing with racial topics and issues surrounding them.

If back-up was needed in dealing with anything that Roz couldn’t handle, she always had her Mom, a human rights activist who doesn’t hold anything back, to call. 

After a Christmas gift revealed their heritage through Ancestry.com, Roz and some family members join a church group on a trip to Ghana, in the motherland of Africa. After the trip, she discovers that the tribe she had been searching for all long was always with her.
