About this site

The Adventures of Papa Zesser is meant to be both an archive for the future edification of my daughter, an informal history of her early months and years, as seen through the eyes of me, her father, as well as a series of public posts about being the father of a mixed-race girl-child in a world that is still far from free of bigotry against both women or people who aren't white.

And if others also find items of interest here, I will be delighted!
