The Same Plate

We’re all on the same plate. So why are we still acting like we don’t belong together?
In this raw, educational, and emotionally charged book, author Allen Dekeyser shares the truths most people are afraid to say out loud — about racism, unity, and what it means to truly see each other.
Using unforgettable metaphors like salt and pepper on the same plate, Allen weaves powerful storytelling, scripture, and real-life experience to challenge the way we think, talk, and love across color lines.
From raising children who value difference, to having the tough conversations, to breaking generational silence — this book hits deep and calls for real action.
With full-page illustrations, reflection questions, and faith-based encouragement, The Same Plate is more than a book — it’s a movement.
Whether you’re Black, white, brown, mixed, learning, unlearning, hurt, hopeful, or healing — this book is for you.
It’s time to stop separating the seasonings. Let’s build a world where we all sit at the table — together.
