Why "Beautifully Blended"?

The Title-
During college, my friend Danielle formed a campus organization called the Multi-Racial Student Association in which I was Secretary and later Vice-President. During this time, there was a Bi-Racial Conference held in Canada and the theme of it was "Beautifully Blended". It was about empowerment for people of Mixed Races, or those living in Mixed Race environments, because many bi-racial people grow up on the outskirts of racial divides being stigmatized, or feeling/being misunderstood. I thought it was a good message and thus the title of this blog.

Who is this blog for?
Everyone! I love…well..race! I love talking about it, learning about it and the problems/misconceptions that it forms.

Who is this blog about?
In addition to mixed folks, It also pertains to:

- people who grew up in a multi-cultural environment (ie a white child adopted by two black parents; a Hispanic girl who grew up in a predominately white area and went to a predominately white prep school; etc.)

- Immigration. Being new to a new land and having to forge together cultures.

- people who are: in an interracial relationship; by products of interracial parents or one interracial parent; has an interracial child.

- Native American Issues.
