Alex Court
Tineka Smith always knew that growing up Black in America meant certain restrictions. Don’t talk back to white people, expect to be stopped by the police, always be on your guard. So, when she moved to the UK - and fell in love with Alex Court, a white man - she wondered if things might be different.
When Alex proposed to Tineka, it was the easiest decision in the world. What he didn’t anticipate was the reaction - sometimes subtle, sometimes overt - from friends and strangers alike. Nor did he expect to have to think about Tineka’s race, and his own white privilege, every single day.
Tineka has always felt the burden of calling out and educating people, only now she has to teach her new husband at the same time - asking him to see, hear and think with a new perspective about the things he had never noticed before.
But what does this mean for Tineka and Alex’s relationship? With anecdotes, analysis and honest conversations, Mixed Up has the pair attempting to navigate their new and challenging world, confronting race and relationships in the 21st century head on.

"A must read book that will change the way we see mixed race couples and make us question our own entrenched beliefs." (Melissa Fleming, award-winning author of A Hope More Powerful than the Sea)
The book is about a black American girl, Tineka, and a white English boy, Alex, who fall in love and get married. They hold two different perspectives on life incidents, as a result of which they are challenged as an interracial couple.
The authors take u with them on a journey of their lives and experiences during childhood and adulthood, the challenges she faced and privileges he enjoyed. Their experiences are drastically different and are shaped by their skin color and stemmed from deepest and darkest parts of history. The book made me think a lot over several days, shocked at the extent and depth of racism in 21st century.
Their love and support for one another is all that matters, and make this whole journey very relatable for all people in interracial relationships.
Captivating, thought-provoking, emotional
