I am bi racial and confused.

Najm,
Burlington, IA

As early as I can remember I have been flooded with questions “are you mixed?” “what are you mixed with?” ” is your mom white or your dad?” or comments such as ” you be acting white”, ” you have white people hair”. As a child this led me to have identity issues, caused me to be in denial about my culture, and played a huge role in introducing me to anxiety. I was ashamed to be the lightskin girl in every setting, there was nobody who understood me and I was never good enough for any group.
