🪞 Two sisters. Two identities. One unforgettable story of race, family, and belonging.
In The Vanishing Half, Brit Bennett tells the powerful story of twin sisters, Desiree and Stella Vignes, who choose very different paths in life. One sister lives in her hometown as a Black woman; the other leaves and passes as white, severing ties with her past. Over the years, their lives unfold in dramatically different ways—until fate brings their daughters together, forcing both families to confront hidden truths.
Join our AI hosts, j(AI)n and d(AI)n, as we explore Bennett’s themes of identity, racial passing, and the generational impact of family secrets. How do the choices we make define who we are? And what happens when we try to outrun our past? Let’s dive in.
