Unsure of where I fit in.

Jingi Hairston

I’ve always been unsure of where I fit in among friend groups, workgroups, all of the above. I am a light-skinned African American woman and always told, “You sound white,” “You talk so proper” “You’ve got to be mixed with something.” Because of this it’s been hard for me to find my own identity but generally took pride in the fact that I could float between so many groups, and still do.

To this day I struggle to find my identity and The Race Card Project has shown me I am not alone.
