This is for Mixed People, Everywhere

Bill of Rights for People of Mixed Heritage By Dr. Maria P.P. Root

I always need to revisit these words...after constantly explaining my ethnic and racial background to people...constantly clarifying (defending) who I am...or answering the not-so-subtle question, “where are your parents from?” But this Bill of Rights always puts everything into check for me and I think it’s time to re-share it with others.

For the mixed folks, the multiracial folks, the biracial folks, and everyone in between - I see you and I hope that others can see you too. You are where YOU need to be in your journey. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.
