'Today' Host Laura Jarrett Gets Candid About Her Meaningful New Project

Laura and journalist Poppy Harlow wrote a beautiful children's book, The Color of Love, during the pandemic.

As the tale unfolds, students share wildly different, but equally beautiful responses about what love means to them and the color they’d assign it. One child chooses shiny silver like the menorah her family uses at Hanukkah, while another selects purple because "it's the color of the pin my uncle wears because he was brave."

The classmates cut out paper hearts in the colors they selected, and put them inside one big heart to create a "patchwork of love." Awww.

“We want kids to see themselves and their own families in the story, but also families that look nothing like theirs,” says Jarrett, who now co-hosts Saturday TODAY . Ahead of the book's publication, she pours out her heart about the project:

On how she became writing partners with Poppy

Poppy and I met each other at CNN, where we both anchored morning shows. We bonded over our kids and how early we'd have to be in the office. When Poppy asked me to write a kids' book with her, I said "yes!" immediately.

On how they found time to write

After our morning shows were over, we'd go to into an office, talk about our kids and life for about a half hour, and then say we'd have to get to work on the book. We wrote every word — and cranked it all out wearing our masks!

On her kids' reaction

We included all our kids' names in the book. My son James, almost 5, loved seeing his name in the book, but said, "My hair doesn't look like that!"

On her family's reading routine

There's nothing I love more than getting home in time to read to my kids. I thought June, who is almost 2, would enjoy books that James did at that age. But she wants nothing to do with Blueberries for Sal or Goodnight Moon . She's obsessed with Elmo, so we'd bought up all the Sesame Street books. James can read on his own. His cousins got him into the Dog Man series .

On what she's reading now

I read legal briefs and court transcripts for work, so I'm looking for something uplifting when I get to read for pleasure. My colleague, Hoda Kotb , recommended The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest, and I'm about to crack it open.

The former senior editor at Parents who started the brand’s awards programs, Karen Cicero is a seasoned journalist who specializes in travel, book, lifestyle and food coverage.Cicero has visited almost every state with her family (look out Wyoming, she’s coming for you next!) She recently presented at several travel industry conferences, including PRSA and the Mid-Atlantic Tourism Alliance. A mom who goes overboard for all the holidays, Cicero lives in the Christmas city itself: Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

• Description

Marra B. Gad was born in New York and raised in Chicago. She is an independent film and television producer and now calls Los Angeles home. Ms. Gad is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and holds a master’s degree in modern Jewish history from Baltimore Hebrew Institute at Towson University.

Praise for Marra B. Gad’s The Color of Love : Winner of the 2020 Midwest Book Award in Autobiography/Memoir presented by the Midwest Independent Publishers Association "In The Color of Love , Gad tells her story in straightforward, unadorned prose. . . . The reader is left to marvel at Gad's magnanimity. In the face of a lifetime of racially motivated aggression, she consistently chooses love." — Jerusalem Post "This beautiful memoir will stay with readers long after the last page is turned." — The Reporter "Offers a Jewish mode of love. . . Institutions have much to learn from reading The Color of Love ." —Jewschool.com "An easy narrative on a complicated experience. It is a deeply personal story through which the author has shared a perspective that is seldom told." — Jewish Book Council "In beautiful, fearless prose, Gad tells a story...that is alternately heart-wrenching and heartwarming." — JUF News "Gad's message about resisting hate is solid. . . . [An] honest memoir about looking beyond hate to find some semblance of peace on the other side." — Kirkus Reviews " The Color of Love provides a much needed voice to this space in society today. But maybe even more than this, Marra's story serves as a reminder, a guide for all of us, from all backgrounds, to choose love. Always." — Glassworks "Marra's journey to unconditional love, forgiveness, and compassion in the face of hate and rejection is nothing short of miraculous." —Tina Alexis Allen, author of Hiding Out “Marra B. Gad’s The Color of Love is a timely and touching memoir of a biracial girl adopted by a Jewish family. It is a story of her ‘awakening’ to the inherent pressures of being black and female in a white world, pressures that are compounded by being adopted and raised in a white Jewish culture. Her pursuit to live a life of love in a world of racial, religious, and anti-feminist hate and bigotry was a continuous battle toward finding her soul. For a good life-affirming read, I highly recommend The Color of Love .” —Ron Stallworth, New York Times –bestselling author of Black Klansman “An astonishing and important story, memorably told, with lessons that reach across race, religion, and culture.” —David Wolpe, Max Webb Senior Rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and author of David: The Divided Heart “Marra B. Gad’s is a compelling story, beautifully and authentically written, about her life as a mixed-race Jewish girl adopted by a white Chicago family in the ’70s. The compassion, patience, and caring required of anyone in Marra’s position is exquisitely demonstrated in this book: it has a lot to teach us.” —Jane Wolf Frances, social worker, psychologist, and author of Parenting Our Parents: Transforming the Challenge into a Journey of Love “ The Color of Love by Marra B. Gad is a book I wish had existed when I was a young Iraqi immigrant in Kentucky trying to make sense of my own ‘otherness.’ But whereas I spent my youth working to correctly pronounce my r ’s so I sounded American or being called Mexican because Iraq was not yet a household word, Gad was confronting flat-out racism from her own relatives. Her unflinching account of these inconceivable experiences is balanced with compassion and an empathy for those who judge her. And that makes her a total badass.” —Ayser Salman, author of The Wrong End of the Table “With humor, tears, and most of all, searing honesty, Marra Gad takes us inside her world, the world of a mixed-race Jew who knows both a family’s boundless devotion and the daily indignities—and worse—of those who cannot see past their prejudice. Faced with the ultimate dilemma, she draws on love, the force that single-handedly carried her through the peaks and valleys of a challenging yet full and happy life. Her story of choosing grace and generosity in the most unimaginable moments holds lessons for us all.” —Daniel Shapiro, former ambassador of the United States to Israel “This is not a story you’ve heard before. I was blown away by how engrossed I became in The Color of Love and was compelled to find out what happens next to the book’s heroine and author in this true story. Gad’s fresh voice manages to bring the reader into her heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, and often comedic journey, resulting in a memorable page-turner that you will not want to end.” —Rosa Blasi, actress and author of Jock Itch “I read The Color of Love in just a few sittings and was always eager to dive back into Marra Gad’s dramatic, fascinating memoir. Marra’s tale of caring for her elderly aunt who rejected her throughout her life is a story about choices—deciding in times of duress, often to our own surprise, exactly the kind of person we want to be. Marra Gad had ever reason to never see or speak to her aunt again—Nette had been cruel and racist—thoroughly and publicly rejecting Marra for being mixed race. Yet at the end of Nette’s life, Marra decides, step-by-step and month-by-month, to step in so Nette can have a life with dignity as Alzheimer’s and a cruel conservator strip her of everything that once mattered to her. Having had a mother die with Alzheimer’s disease, I was captivated by Marra’s brave, honest story. A powerful story of love chosen, not deserved.” —Laura Davis, author of The Courage to Heal and The Burning Light of Two Stars

THE COLOR OF LOVE

A mother’s choice in the jim crow south.

by Gene Cheek ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 2005

A doleful debut, heartfelt but disappointing.

A son remembers his North Carolina childhood in the 1960s: his abusive father, his loving mother and the racist climate that empowered a judge to place the boy in foster care when his mother became involved with a black man.

Cheek has a truly troubling tale to tell. His father was a racist and alcoholic brute who beat both his wife and his son. (The father’s relatives seem similarly unpleasant.) Cheek’s mother is all but angelic in the author’s recollection—affectionate, wise, compassionate, understanding—but also poor, forced to work long hours in menial jobs. The author likes her family much more, especially his uncle Bill, who for most of the story is loving and protective of his sister and nephew. (Later, though, when the author’s mother has an illegitimate child with the black man she adores, her relatives banish her.) Cheek tells about his mother’s tribulations with his father, about her decision, finally, to leave him, about her involvement with a local black man (a virtual saint, in the author’s eyes), about the vicious reaction in town to that involvement—and to the child that ensued (the KKK burned a cross in the yard). The principal crisis occurs when a court removes the author from his mother’s care, an action initiated by the 12-year-old’s father and his odious family. He bounces from foster care to a boys’ home and sees his mother only occasionally. Years later—after most of the principals have died—he forgives everyone, including himself for failing to be the husband he had always hoped to be. (His own marriage disintegrated.) Cheek’s pain is evident throughout, but unfortunately so is his lack of skill: He spins his tale with so little craft that the narrative loses virtually all of its potential strength, overshadowed by diction that’s often trite, dialogue that’s unconvincing and dramatic shaping that just isn’t there.

Elie Wiesel spent his early years in a small Transylvanian town as one of four children. 

He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.

INTO THE WILD

by Jon Krakauer ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1996

A wonderful page-turner written with humility, immediacy, and great style. Nothing came cheap and easy to McCandless, nor...

The excruciating story of a young man on a quest for knowledge and experience, a search that eventually cooked his goose, told with the flair of a seasoned investigative reporter by Outside magazine contributing editor Krakauer (Eiger Dreams, 1990). 

Chris McCandless loved the road, the unadorned life, the Tolstoyan call to asceticism. After graduating college, he took off on another of his long destinationless journeys, this time cutting all contact with his family and changing his name to Alex Supertramp. He was a gent of strong opinions, and he shared them with those he met: "You must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life''; "be nomadic.'' Ultimately, in 1992, his terms got him into mortal trouble when he ran up against something—the Alaskan wild—that didn't give a hoot about Supertramp's worldview; his decomposed corpse was found 16 weeks after he entered the bush. Many people felt McCandless was just a hubris-laden jerk with a death wish (he had discarded his map before going into the wild and brought no food but a bag of rice). Krakauer thought not. Admitting an interest that bordered on obsession, he dug deep into McCandless's life. He found a willful, reckless, moody boyhood; an ugly little secret that sundered the relationship between father and son; a moral absolutism that agitated the young man's soul and drove him to extremes; but he was no more a nutcase than other pilgrims. Writing in supple, electric prose, Krakauer tries to make sense of McCandless (while scrupulously avoiding off-the-rack psychoanalysis): his risky behavior and the rites associated with it, his asceticism, his love of wide open spaces, the flights of his soul.

The Color of Love

Daisy has dreams of being a big-time artist, but in the meantime, she is making ends meet by working at The Spot, a popular dive bar. The first time she meets Mike, a talent agent, she soundly rejects the advances of both him and his friend, but she has no idea how persistent Mike truly is. Mike soon learns that Daisy is in a committed same-sex relationship, but that doesn’t stop him from making a bet with his friends that he can get her in bed. The two embark on what starts as a friendship—Daisy believing Mike is the key to making it as an artist, Mike wishing only to sleep with Daisy—but it doesn’t take long before the two discover a sizzling mutual attraction. Daisy, however, is torn; she truly loves her partner, and cheating is completely out of character for her. How will Daisy come to terms with herself?

Ty Mitchell’s The Color of Love is a fantastic, relatively quick novel of love and lust, integrity and confusion, dreams, and ambitions and distractions. It’s a twist on the classic boy-meets-girl-girl-plays-hard-to-get story, with distinctive, diverse characters and a hip Southern California setting. Readers will be torn on whether to like Daisy; on one hand, her drive to succeed as an artist and her unique sense of self make for a fun reading experience, but on the other hand, it doesn’t take long for her to start lying to her partner and sleeping with someone else, compromising that integrity she has worked so hard to build. Mike, meanwhile, comes across as a fairly typical bro, arrogant and overly self-confident, set apart only by the fact that he does genuinely develop feelings for Daisy. Whether readers love or hate the main characters, the fact remains that The Color of Love is an enjoyable story.

Book Review - The Color of Love, Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman

Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman’s The Color of Love (2015), a recent addition to the Louann Atkins Temple Women and Culture Series, describes the perpetuation of racial awareness within black Brazilian families through ideas of ‘racial fluency,’ the subjective understandings of the efficacies of racial knowledge and racial resistance. The work summarizes the failures and successes of forms of racial resistance, and the effectiveness of applying the cultural forces of the African diaspora to deconstruct structural racism within Brazil. In particular, Hordge-Freeman’s work offers an analysis of the socialization processes that educate Brazilians about race and phenotype. She shows how families socialize and perpetuate racial and phenotypical ideals through transmitting beliefs about melanin and beauty through humor, gossip, and religious ritual. Though much of her work in this book has been published in numerous articles in recent years, many scholars will find Hordge-Freeman’s analysis engaging. Akin to Edward Telles’s Race in Another America (2006), Hordge-Freeman applies quantitative data to analyze race construction within black Brazilian families. Like Telles, she continues a long tradition of scholars arguing against the assertions of historian Gilberto Freyre about the racelessness of Brazilian society, which Freyre portrayed within The Masters and the Slaves (1987 [1933]).

In this paper, I problematize France Twine's (1998) argument that Brazilian non-elite's racial sense-making is narrowly defined as compared to US understandings of racism and antiracist politics. First, I review literature that provides parts of the complex and complicated picture of how racism is experienced and contested by Afro-Brazilian women in particular. Second, I argue for recognition of race and racism as floating signifiers, which mutate according to specific geohistorical contexts. In effect, all sociopolitical strategies must vary according to the various particular and peculiar phenomena of racism and its effects. Finally, I reiterate Chandra Mohanty's (1997) caution about the use of western scholarship and in this case activism too as the main referent for evaluating Third World social, cultural, and political practices.

ABSTRACT Some current cultural anthropologists define race as a social construct, yet explorations of the socio-historical constructions that give form and structure to racial identities perpetuating notions of “race” are rarely discussed. This study explores the theory of racial formations proposed by Michael Omi and Howard Winant as it applies to Brazil’s racial project, arguing that Brazil’s rhetoric on race and national identity during the late19th to early 20th century culminated in a racial project ultimately known as democracia racial. As a result, I propose that Brazilian racial consciousness is symbolically pluralistic, encompassing race, social class, and social position, generating a particularly virulent, yet silent form of racism. I expand upon racial formation theory through analysis of my fieldwork carried out in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerias, in 2004. This analysis illustrates how contemporary Brazilian social structure and daily cultural discourses on race, skin-color, racial identity, and social marginalization reflect the nation’s early racist ideology, yet contest its reality. Informants discuss self-identifications of skin-color, the meanings attributed to color tonalities, and the impact racism has on their daily lives.

This is a translation of Racismo e Sexismo na Cultura Brasileira, an oral presentation given at the meeting of the Working Group "Themes and Problems of the Black Population in Brazil", at the IV Annual Meeting of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Social Sciences (ANPOCS), Rio de Janeiro, 31 October 1980. It was later transcribed and originally published in the first issue of the collection Ciências Sociais Hoje, p. 223-244, in 1984, organized and published by the same association. Using political-cultural categories and concepts, such as Amefricanity, Pretoguês, Brazilian cultural neurosis and myth of racial democracy, Lélia Gonzalez, from an intersectional perspective, develops on the dynamics and specificities of racial relations in Brazil and the country's social and cultural formation, marked by racism and colonization. As a precursor of Afro-Latin American Feminism, the author analyzes the social and subjective condition of the Afro-Brazilian population, more specifically the material and symbolic bases of the oppression and exploitation of Black women, impacted by the double phenomenon of racism and sexism, and their role in resisting the pressures of erasing Brazil's African roots.
