What I have learned from raising Biracial children.
Obama is Biracial, and his extended family is incredibly multicultural.

Cheerios posted a controversial ad on YouTube featuring a Biracial family.
This is a fact that
haunts Jennifer now that she is the mother of two Biracial children deeply impacted by these statistics.
As a Biracial psychotherapist in San Francisco,
I am no stranger to witnessing the psychological and emotional impact of being underrepresented in tech.
White mothers of Biracial children, those who are aware of the fact that race
plays a pivotal role in the trajectory of their children's lives, are often at a loss about how best to address issues of race.
