Welcome to : Growing Up In A Mixed Family!
As a multiracial and multiethnic, "mixed," college senior from the wonderfully diverse state of California, I've had my share of ups and downs growing up with multiple racial and ethnic identities. As I got older, I really wanted a community outside my home with other folks who identified as multiracial, multiethnic, blended, etc. as a resource and support group.
I didn't find what I was looking for until I went to college and started working at the multicultural center. There, I learned about things ranging from self-identification and external vs. internal racism to ideas like reclaiming and passing. My time at the multicultural center and my own experienes growing up mixed motivated me to make the community that I always wanted.
This blog is a resource for mixed kids, teens, college students and young adults on situation-specific issues facing multiracial and/or multiethnic youths. Reviews on other online resources, advice on difficult social and academic situations and a variety of discussions on current events involving mixed themes can be found on the "Growing Up Mixed blog.
If you have any suggestions, comments, questions, etc., definitely write them in the "comments" section below each post. Let's get a community of mixed youths going! Just please be polite is all I ask. :)
To all my lovely multiracial, multiethnic, blended, mixed, (or however you identify), young people out there, welcome!
Welcome to the Mixed Community
ReplyDeleteHi ! I am conducting on multiracial women (also feel free to participate in the survey as well!)
ReplyDeleteI am a professor at Trinity University in Texas. I am launching on ethnically diverse women on body image and wellness?We really need multiracial women in our study so if you could also pass it along to your friends that would be great. Multiracial and other minorities are a growing US population and yet research on body image is lacking!!
Here is the official study posting:
I would like to invite you to complete a brief online questionnaire investigating wellness and body image in a diverse population of adult females (you must be 18 years or older to participate).
You can complete the questionnaire from any computer and it will take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time.
In return, you will be entered into a lottery to win a $200 Amazon Gift card, which will be sent via email. You will also have made an important contribution to research into women’s health.
In addition, we would like to ask you to PLEASE forward this information to any women you know who might also be interested in taking part in this research (any woman over 18..preferably women of color !) !
