Marie Bigham, founder and Executive Director of ACCEPT, talks about her early childhood — she shares what it was like to grow up biracial in predominantly white environments, as well as how shocking it was when she realized at one point that her mother raised her and her brother differently, because one of them looks more white. We’ll talk about gender and racial equity when it comes to the college admissions process and higher education.

Marie is very open and forthcoming with both her professional and personal stories. You’ll also hear about her journey through therapy and how in her professional work, she’s realized that the tiger parenting pressures don’t come solely from Asian parents.
