Chandra Crane

Chandra Crane is an author, speaker and multi-multi-ethnic specialist who is passionate about diversity and family. Growing up in a multi-ethnic home, she has too often felt the otherness of never quite fitting in. Her own mixed multiethnic and multicultural background includes a Thai birth father, a European American mother, and an African American father who adopted her when she was five. In her newest book, Mixed Blessing, Chandra explores what scripture and history teach us about ethnicity and how we can bring all of ourselves to our sense of identity and calling.

Chandra currently serves as the mixed ministry coordinator for the multiethnic initiatives department of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and is a member of the multiethnic Redeemer Church in Jackson, Mississippi. She has written for In All Things, The Well, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. She has spoken and led worship at several local and national conferences and has also participated in online discussions for Christianity Today.

She is married to Kennan, a civil engineer, and they have two spunky daughters.
