Judith Mudd-Krijgelmans is a former Foreign Service officer and diplomat who has drawn on her life experiences to write two memoirs: Flowers for Brother Mudd, 2018, and Chocolates for Mary Julia, 2022. Having led memoir writing groups in the last 15 years, her presence in literary writing has emerged ever since the publication of her first book. Based on her story, she has been engaging audiences on the difficult topic of American diversity and how, given its slave past, the United States is viewed in the world.
In this follow-up memoir, Judith Mudd-Krijgelmans returns to New Delhi as a U.S. diplomat, her lively five-year-old daughter at her side. Embarking on the career she’s dreamed of, she throws herself into the globe-trotting life. What lies in store for this risk-taker, whose battle with racial prejudice is not over, is what Chocolates for Mary Julia are about. As a Foreign Service officer with the U.S. Information Agency and Department of State, in a nearly 30-year career, she publicly represented the United States in Delhi, Bombay, Dhaka, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Brussels, Libreville, Bujumbura, and Brazzaville. From Washington, she oversaw eight French-speaking African public affairs posts and led the first U.S. Government civic education project in South Africa. Despite the heartache of her first relationship, she never gave up on finding love, building a family, forming effective work teams, and seeing sights around the world—all while proudly waving the flag for an ideal America yet to be realized.
