Nichole Pettit,

I’m biracial. I’m not just African American, I’m also American, German, English and Irish! Many say “You’re black,” sure but I’m not just that. Do not reduce my race and ethnic background to a single word. I do not belong to a single group, I belong to many. I am a young woman, furthering her education and work to better her life for herself, her family, and the future of the world. If you must categorize me, must describe me in a single word… Human. Human is the single most descriptive and accurate word.
