Hi, I'm Joan

Joan Green: Author, Speaker, Wife, Mother

Hi there!

I’m so glad you’re here! Chances are you want to know a little more about me—and maybe a little more about why this work exists. I want you to know this: everything you see here has been shaped slowly, through years of family life, honest conversations, and learning along the way. Real change doesn’t happen all at once—but it does begin with intention.

I won’t pretend this journey has been perfectly mapped out.

It’s been thoughtful.

It’s been stretching.

And it’s been deeply meaningful.

Three Decades of Interracial Marriage: What I've Learned

I'm happily married..

I’ve been married to my husband, Kevin, for over 30 years, and together we’ve raised three incredible young adults—Jordan, Jess, and Jacob. We live in a wonderfully diverse community in Maryland, a place that has helped shape how we see the world and our place in it.

An unexpected pause..

In 2020, life offered an unexpected pause. As the world slowed—and at the same time felt heavier—I spent time reflecting on my family, my values, and the responsibility I carry as a white woman in an interracial marriage. What became clear was this: our family’s experiences held lessons worth sharing.

Voices of families..

Through open, ongoing conversations at home, I realized that the voices of interracial families—and the realities faced by biracial children—were missing from much of the public conversation around race. Those stories matter. And they deserve space.

Willingness to listen..

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need a willingness to listen, reflect, and grow—one conversation at a time.

My hope is that what you find here feels supportive, encouraging, and real—and that it helps you foster understanding, connection, and compassion within your own family.

I’m so glad you found your way here.

With warmth,

Joan

Interracial Family FREE RESOURCES

I know self-education is one of the most important pieces of creating a more supportive relationship with our partners, our children and our extended families.

Let me share a list of a few articles and videos that I love and have found helpful…so you can begin to think differently, confirm what you already know, or even jumpstart a conversation!
