My children jumpstarted my racial identity.

Johnny,
Concord, MA.

As a gay Asian man married to a white man with two adopted children of color (one black, one Latino), I came to understand my own racial identity trough the experience of welcoming our two children into our family. It’s taught me that to really provide a strong racial identity for my children, parents need to do the work themselves–including white parents.
