Summary:
"Matt James, the first Black
bachelor
on ABC's beloved television show, The
Bachelor
, shares his views on the controversial topics that defined his season and confronts matters of
race
, opportunity, and his biracial identity head on. When The
Bachelor
franchise announced Matt James as the first Black lead, it was celebrated as long-overdue progress on the primetime show. America fell in love with Matt -- the Christian, former NFL athlete, and nonprofit CEO -- who charmed millions of viewers each week. But the off-screen
conversations
around the show revealed the realities and inescapable challenges of being Black in America and the depth of racism that still exists. On the show, Matt could only go so far in sharing his own story with America. In First
Impressions
, Matt shares his views on controversial topics like
race
and opportunity that defined his season on The
Bachelor
. Matt lives at the intersection of these important issues and shares the wisdom his experience has granted him. Matt describes the joys and difficulties of being the youngest of two Black sons, raised by a single, working-class, white mother in Raleigh, North Carolina. He elaborates on the spiritual closeness and sense of duty he felt for his mother, but also the complex relationships he had with the many male figures in his life: his prejudiced, Italian grandfather, who had trouble accepting Matt as his own; his father, whose womanizing and petty crime put strain on the
family
; and his older brother, who was Matt’s protector in youth, but who struggled with the long shadow of their father’s legacy. Simultaneously inspirational and informative, First
Impressions
will leave readers with a deeper understanding of the life experiences that prepared Matt for such a divisive moment in television history." --Publisher.
