Synopsis

What happens when mixed-race people are frequently told they are not who they know themselves to be? It can cause problems with belonging, guilt and shame, imposter’s syndrome, isolation, and inauthenticity. Because mixed people often feel harmed and limited by outsider perspectives and judgments, they must develop the skills to define their own identities. This workbook helps mixed people live authentically and represent themselves accurately by practicing courage, learning the skills to explore their history and heritage, and developing language for their self-created narrative.
