Ep. 11 - Biracial in a Black and White Society


Listen Later

I wanted to do an episode on growing up biracial but realized that growing up is not where I noticed issues. It was not until adulthood and really moving away from home that I realized how much "black and white" there is in the world. It's not only in the sense of race, but we always think there is clear cut answers to things, and the reality is most things are complex.

Parenting, laws, child welfare services, health, education....I could go on and on. At the end of the day we all have different views and perspectives on these things. Being biracial things have also been black and white and since I'm in the middle (Black and Mexican) I don't really fit in anywhere in that world. That's because I like most things and MOST people am complex. Not just because of my race but because of my life experiences. 

No two situations are exactly the same no matter how similar. We need to take each situation and look at in individually with all information before judging or making decisions or accusations. I do plan on having others on the podcast to speak on their experience as biracial and how they navigate that world.
