History is filled with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Including our multiracial history. One is heartbreaking and the other is heartwarming.

The heartbreaking story is about a serial killer, Joseph Paul Franklin who targeted multiracial couples, allies, and two influential public figures.

The heartwarming story is about Gertrude Weaver, of mixed race, who in 2015 became the oldest person in the world and received recognition from President Barack Obama.

The final segment is about what I found out in my family tree as well as experiences that my Black mother and White father encountered that were not newsworthy, but important.

What are you is the most common question we face as mixed-raced individuals. Christine Holmes decided to write about it with the same title, aimed for kids!

Christine Holmes, a licensed social worker with her own practice, decided to write a children’s book that focuses on a growing biracial population of half Asian and half white kids, after seeing most biracial children’s books focus on mixed black and white kids. Christine also tells readers that What Are You is autobiographical, and gives us further details and insights in her own journey through growing up half Taiwanese and half white, and how her daughters have inherited a rich legacy.

Tell us what you think about what other biracial children’s books should be published that are not just black and white children? Check out my IG @generationmixedpodcast and comment!
