Blessed to grow up in diversity

2007: Smuggled out of Eldoret, Kenya

Cut normal white people some slack.

There is always a misunderstanding.

My friends forget I am Asian.

Her black smile I fondly remember

They've never heard of us before

Why are AMWF couples so rare?

On money and color I thrive.

Why does it have to matter?

Daddy must've gotten that for you

Henry is seen, Enrique is invisible

I knew one side of racism.

Are they yours? Are you sure?

In my blood, not my face

I look good because I'm ME

A tale of my father

Which category do I belong to?

Not invisible. Give me eye contact.

Created equal....but wear our shoes..

I cannot open carry and survive.

I am feared yet I’m fetishized

Here's money is not an apology.

You're not like most black girls.

He's not heavy. He's my brother

Never keep secrets from your children.

My grandmother didn't tell enough stories.

Seeing. Thinking. What is their story?

Endowed by birth, merited by action.

Narrow Paths Dirt Roads Soul Soles

Race by birth. American by choice.

Being colorblind is not the answer.

Let them stare, it doesn't matter

My daughter doesn't look me...

White isn't normal - it's made up.

I'm not mixed I'm human

My color will define my life

Reverse racism actually exists to date

Complex social histories confused with colors

Conversations and connections change perspective

We are different; let's embrace it.

Confronting my whiteness is a journey.

What is the real difference here?

Our Faces, Our Races, Our World

Black. Native. Spiritual Woman. Power. Growth. Beauty

I can’t know but I try.

I was colorblind. Now I see.

The real fear of a black parent

Beauty comes in many different shades.

A Rhetorical Lie, A Realistic Truth

Dismantle racism with your white privilege

Dad was racist. I fought him.

I am a product of tracking.

Leave grace space when talking race

Not who you think I am

I am Latina and I want to prosper.

Mon Dieu! Mais vous êtes blanche!

I talk the walk too much!

Teaching white students about social justice.

Confederate re-enactor chose intimidation as spoils

Stanford's not for people like you.

From love - fear, (a) foreigner's view (on) racism.

My black boyfriend's not an athlete

I'm in the inside not ouside

I became an activist and prisoner

Can Anyone Believe I Love Everyone?

Privileged White Girl, Am I Really?

Why didn't we talk about this?

Don't say that is so black

Won't speak up, fear of judgement.

Kids’ mother tongue isn’t their mother’s

Lily White, but not an Intolerant

The Chicana to make a difference

Do you worry she'll bomb you?

Bridge across cultures: our reconciliation, salvation

Wearing your difference on the outside.

We're one people on one planet.

I'm not a person of color

Ashamed that my white privilege stifles others

Bangladeshi-British immigrant. Mom of all-American twins.

Indian dad, European mom, identified Latina.

Perception equals reality - OPEN YOUR EYES!

Independent determination perseverance honest unfair alone

Neither shaken nor stirred but mixed

Happy Birthday, you missed teen pregnancy.

God knew what he was doing

I am everything, we all are.

All equal in eyes of God.

We are only friends at work.

We all Bleed the Color Red
